How It Works

Getting on the list

A service must score 1/3 — at least one real qualifying signal. Score 0/3 means no pricing, no self-service, no status page: nothing to build on, so it's declined outright.

Getting promoted

Score 2/3 or higher on a fresh evaluation. Re-submit or comment on the original issue with evidence that the missing criteria are now met.

Getting removed

Promoted to the main list, no progress for 6 months, or the service shuts down. Maintainers review quarterly.

Criteria to qualify

Transparent public pricing page, usage-based self-service signup, and a public SLA or status page. Any 2 of 3 is enough.
