CloutStack: tools that help creators make money

Anything somebody uses to make, grow or get paid for work they publish. That covers the obvious ones like video editors and newsletter platforms, and the ones people find out about later: contracts, bookkeeping, tax, and getting paid across borders.

Two ways. We add them ourselves, or the people who build them submit them and write the listing. Either way a person reads it before it goes live, and anything submitted has to be a real product a creator could sign up for today.

No, if you display our badge on your site. We check that it is still there, and the listing stays free for as long as it is. If you would rather not link out, a one-time fee lists you without the badge.

Every star on this site comes from people who used the tool and left a review. We do not score anything ourselves. A tool nobody has reviewed shows no star at all, which is most of them today, and that is the honest state of a young directory rather than a gap we would rather fill with a number of our own.

No. Nobody can buy a rating, because the rating is other people's reviews and we do not touch them. Paid placement does exist, it is labelled wherever it appears, and a featured listing sits at the top of a category page. What a listing says and what its reviewers said are not for sale.

New tools are added continuously, and a listing carries the date its details were last checked. Pricing changes faster than anything else, so if you spot something out of date there is a link on every page to tell us.
