Frequently Asked Questions

Software Submission FAQs

Below are answers to the questions we receive most frequently from software companies, founders, and marketing teams.

Does paying an Editorial Evaluation Fee guarantee a review?

No. The Editorial Evaluation Fee covers the time and resources required for product research, testing, competitive analysis, and editorial work. It does not guarantee publication, a positive review, or a recommendation.

Can we pay for a higher ranking?

No. Stacklier does not sell rankings, recommendations, awards, or editorial opinions. All rankings are determined solely by our editorial methodology.

Do we need to provide trial access?

Trial access is highly recommended. Hands-on testing allows our editorial team to evaluate real workflows and provide more accurate insights.

Can we request updates after major product releases?

Yes. If your product changes significantly, you may request a re-evaluation. Our editorial team will determine whether an update is appropriate.

Will affiliate partnerships improve editorial coverage?

No. Affiliate relationships and editorial evaluations are managed independently. Participation in an affiliate program never guarantees coverage or favourable recommendations.

How long does the evaluation process take?

Timeframes vary depending on editorial workload and the complexity of the software. Expedited evaluations may be available upon request.
