About

CloutStack is a directory of the tools creators use to make and monetize their work. Editing software, newsletter platforms, payment tools, community software, the boring finance and contract things nobody posts about.

How tools get here

Most were added by us. Anyone can submit one, and a submission is free if the tool displays our badge, or $29 once if it does not. Every submission is reviewed by a person before it goes live.

How the reviews work

Each listing has a written review covering what the tool does, what it costs, who it suits and who should skip it. Ratings shown as stars come only from people who left a review. We never invent a rating, and we never publish an aggregate score that no real person contributed to.

How we make money

Affiliate commissions, listing fees, labelled placement and newsletter sponsorship. The full breakdown, and what none of it affects, is on the affiliate disclosure page.

Something wrong?

Pricing changes, tools shut down, and we get things wrong. Tell us at hello@cloutstack.net and we will fix it.
