Founding sponsors. Each category has three founding slots. The founding price is locked for 6 months from the day your card goes live. That applies to category slots and to the featured slot.

How cards are shown. When a category has more than one sponsor, the cards stack at the top of the category in the order the sponsors signed up. There's no rotation, so every sponsor's card shows on every visit.

The rules

• Sponsorship never changes rankings. The order of each list and our editorial picks don't depend on who pays. Following the FTC's Endorsement Guides, every paid placement is clearly labeled “Sponsored”, and the directory says so at the top.
• No competing audit or pentest services. We don't sell slots to security audit, assessment or penetration-testing services.
• We review every sponsor. We turn down low-quality products and products that target health or medical data.
• Links are marked. Sponsored links use rel="sponsored". Affiliate links are allowed only if they're disclosed next to the link and marked the same way.

Billing and cancellation

• Billed monthly, in advance. We send an invoice by email at the start of each month you're listed.
• Cancel anytime. Email us and your card stays up until the end of the month you've already paid for, then comes down. We don't refund partial months.
• If a sponsor breaks our rules. We can remove the card. If we do, we refund the unused days of that month.

How it works

1. Email us. Send your product, its link and the slot you want to hello@citadelcyber.dev.

2. We review it. We check the product against the rules above and reply by email.

3. We'll send an invoice. There's no online checkout yet. Your card goes live once the first month's invoice is paid.
