Reach the Japanese market with a page we write for you

Please read this before applying
- Every paid placement is labelled "PR".
- Paid links carry rel="sponsored". We do not sell backlinks for search ranking purposes.
- Ranking positions are decided on editorial criteria alone. Money never changes a position.
- We write only what we have verified. If we could not confirm it, we do not publish it.
- If your submission does not pass review there is no charge, and we refund in full if we decide not to list after payment.
What a listing gives you
Current scale: 60 tools, 50 articles, 58 editorial reviews and 298 prompts.
We write the Japanese page for you
Even if your product has no Japanese at all, our editors produce the description, pricing and use cases in Japanese. You do not need to arrange translation or build a Japanese page.
Placed in a comparison, not a link directory
Your tool sits inside a 60-tool comparison table, the category rankings and the use-case pages — in front of people who are deciding what to buy.
Published in a form AI systems can read
SoftwareApplication, ItemList and FAQ structured data, plus /llms.txt. Your listing is machine-readable for AI search and summarisation.
Passing review is third-party verification
Some submissions are not listed. Being listed is something you can point to as an independent check.
The information stays current
Because this is a monthly listing, we update it free of charge every time your pricing or features change. Stop paying and the listing comes down at the next billing date.
We do not promise traffic
There is no guaranteed number of clicks or referrals. If you need guaranteed performance, use a performance-based ad network instead. This is for vendors who value the placement and an editorially-written Japanese page.

Questions we get
- Will a listing improve our search ranking?
- Links carry rel="sponsored", so this is not a tool for building backlinks. We do not sell links for SEO.
- Can we pay to rank higher?
- No. Ranking positions are decided on editorial criteria only. Paid slots appear as clearly-labelled PR placements outside the ranking.
- What happens if we fail review?
- Nothing is charged. Review is free and payment is only arranged after you pass. If we decide not to list after you have paid, we refund in full.
- Is billing monthly, or can we pay up front?
- Card payments renew monthly on the same date. Bank transfer is available as a 12-month prepayment only.
- How do we cancel?
- One email. The listing comes down on the next billing date. We do not pro-rate refunds, and cancellation inside the minimum term is not possible.
- Can we specify what the page says?
- Facts — features, pricing, supported languages, the provider — come from what you give us. Assessment and commentary are written by our editors from what we verified, so we do not take direction on those.
- How long until we are live?
- Around five working days for the review decision, and around ten working days from payment to publication. The feature review plan takes an additional two to three weeks.
- Do you really write the Japanese page for us?
- Yes. Every listing page is written in Japanese by our editors. If your product has no Japanese interface at all, we still produce the description, pricing and use cases in Japanese.
- We are not based in Japan. Can we still list?
- Yes, and that is the main reason vendors come to us. Cards issued outside Japan work for payment, and all correspondence can be in English.
Start with the review. It costs nothing.
Even if you only want a decision on eligibility, the form takes about three minutes.
Payment and refund terms are set out in our terms of use, and how we separate advertising from editorial is covered in our ad disclosure.
