Table of contents

How tools get listed

  • Live product only. No waitlists, no "coming soon."
  • Public pricing or a real free tier. If a vendor is enterprise-sales-only, we still list it, tagged Paid (enterprise/custom pricing), so you know what you're getting into before you book a demo.
  • Actually used by designers, not a general-purpose tool with one relevant use case bolted on.
  • Reviewed quarterly. Dead links and abandoned products are removed — see CHANGELOG.md.
  • No pay-to-list. Sponsored placements are labeled Sponsored and never displace a better-fit free entry — see Sponsors.

Last full review: August 2026.
