For vendors
Being listed on Xither is free and always will be. So is claiming your profile and correcting anything we get wrong. What you can pay for is presentation — how your product is shown, and where.
Read this before you buy anything
- We do not sell traffic or leads. Xither is a young site and our audience is small. If you are buying on expected click volume, do not buy yet — ask us for the numbers on the specific guide first, and we will send them.
- We do not sell SEO value. Every outbound link on this site carries
rel="sponsored"— on free listings and paid ones alike — so a paid link is not worth more to a search engine than a free one. That is deliberate. - We do not sell inclusion, ranking, or coverage. No payment puts a product into a guide, moves it up a ranked list, or changes how we describe it. Our methodology explains how those decisions are actually made.
- You are not charged until we approve. We authorize your card when you submit and capture only if the placement is approved. If we decline it, the hold is released and you pay nothing.

What we need from you
Placements run on copy you write, not copy we write about you. We review it for suitability — it has to be accurate about your own product and readable next to editorial content — but the words stay yours, and the page says so.
Spotlight
- Company name
- Logo
- Tagline, 20 words or fewer
- Destination URL
Featured vendor
- Everything above
- A description, 50 words or fewer
- One downloadable artifact (PDF, ≤15 MB)
Where your placement appears
Our buyer guides cover categories of enterprise AI tooling, and each one names the products we think a buyer should look at. Those editorial picks cannot be bought. A Spotlight or Featured placement puts you on that page anyway — which is the point, and why it is worth something: the guide is credible precisely because the list was not for sale. Of 1,375 live profiles, 594have been read and verified against the vendor's own page; we are working through the rest.
