Be the first tool buyers see in your category
Featured listings put your product at the top of its category and directory pages, with a highlighted card, a badge, screenshots and a demo link, right where teams build their shortlist.
Visibility at every step of the shortlist
Buyers usually start on a category page, open a few profiles, then compare. A featured listing makes sure you are part of that first look.
Pinned to the top of your category
Featured tools appear first on your category page and buyer’s guide, above the alphabetical list, where buyers start their shortlist.
- First position on the category page
- Highlighted card that stands out from the list
- Clear “Featured” badge
First in the directory
The directory of 50 tools sorts featured listings first in every view, including filtered views for your category.
- Shown first in grid and list views
- Stays visible when buyers filter by category
- Badge on every card
A richer profile page
Your profile gets your logo, product screenshots and a demo or trial link, so buyers can take the next step without leaving the page.
- Logo and up to five screenshots
- Demo or free-trial button
- Tracked links to your website
A mention in the newsletter
Featured tools are listed in the monthly Adoption Brief email, sent to readers who asked to hear about new tools and guides.
- Listed once a month while featured
- Tracked link to your profile
- Clearly marked as a featured listing
What featuring never changes
Buyers trust AdoptionStack because paid placement is labelled and limited. That trust is what makes a featured spot worth paying for.

How much does a featured listing cost?
$299/month, billed monthly with no long-term contract. You can cancel before your next billing date.
How many featured spots are there per category?
We keep featured spots limited in each category so they stay meaningful for buyers and valuable for vendors. If your category is full, we can add you to the waiting list.
Does featuring change how you write about us?
No. Featured placement changes where your listing appears on category and directory pages. It never changes your profile’s tone, comparisons, the tool finder, reviews or our articles.
How quickly can we go live?
Usually within two business days of receiving your logo, screenshots and links.
Can we see how much traffic we get?
Yes. All outbound links carry UTM parameters (utm_source=adoptionstack), so visits and conversions show up in your own analytics tool.
Do we need a free listing first?
No. If you are not listed yet, we create your profile and feature it at the same time, as long as your product fits one of our categories.
