Companies are reviewed before being featured, not added automatically. The evaluation looks at alignment between the services offered, the category being considered, and the information made publicly available by the company. To understand our evaluation process, you can have a look at MobileAppDaily’s methodology. 

This review focuses on relevance and clarity. It is meant to ensure that companies appear in directories where their experience and service focus genuinely apply.

Company placement within a MobileAppDaily directory follows the same evaluation logic outlined in our methodology.

Each company is assessed against category-specific criteria, such as service focus, industry relevance, portfolio depth, and publicly available signals that help determine where it fits within a given list. Placement doesn't reflect popularity or bias; it shows how closely a company aligns with the intent of that directory.  

When multiple companies meet similar criteria and appear closely matched, a defined tiebreaker rule is applied to maintain consistency. In such cases, the company with a stronger volume of verified customer reviews is positioned higher.

The purpose of this approach is to keep directories structured and comparable. Placement is meant to support shortlisting, not to present rankings as final judgments.

Companies can submit their details through the listing forms available on the platform. Once submitted, the information is reviewed to determine whether the company aligns with the relevant directory.

If additional clarification is needed, the review may take longer. Listings are added once the review is complete and the company meets the baseline requirements.

Yes. Companies can be listed without any payment.

Being featured in a directory depends on meeting the platform’s listing criteria, not on commercial involvement.

In some cases, certain positions within a directory may offer sponsored visibility options. When this applies, those placements are clearly marked so buyers can distinguish them from standard listings.

Sponsorship affects visibility only. It does not influence how a company is assessed, whether it qualifies for a directory, or how it is evaluated under MobileAppDaily’s methodology.

No. Sponsorship does not change how a company is evaluated or whether it qualifies for a directory.

Evaluation and commercial visibility are handled separately. Sponsored listings are marked to ensure transparency for buyers.

Companies can submit details related to their services, experience, and presence on the platform.

Once the information is reviewed, our experts assess the submitted details and connect with you to take the process forward. If approved, the relevant directory badge will be provided to you.

You may embed this badge on your website, social profiles, or pitch decks to highlight your presence within specific service or industry directories.

The Top Rated tag is earned purely through customer reviews submitted on MobileAppDaily.

A company qualifies when it has received at least five verified reviews and every one of them carries a five-star rating. The overall rating must remain at 5.0.

This tag isn’t about visibility or volume. It reflects a pattern of consistently strong client experiences shared by real users on the platform.

Expert’s Choice is an editorial signal based on internal review by MobileAppDaily’s team.

It may be applied when a company demonstrates strong capability or domain expertise, even if it does not meet every quantitative benchmark, such as review volume or published case studies. This label is used selectively to add context, not override evaluation criteria.

A company receives the ‘Verified’ tag when it meets at least two of the following four signals:

• Three or more verified customer reviews on MobileAppDaily

• At least two published portfolios or case studies

• Recognized industry awards

• Relevant compliance or certification credentials

Verification helps buyers quickly identify companies that have demonstrated credibility across multiple areas.

‘Partner of the Month’ is a company-level recognition decided by the MobileAppDaily team.

Companies are considered based on how they appear and perform across the platform during a given month. This includes reviewing their activity in relevant directories, the breadth of services they offer, regional presence, and how consistently their profile information reflects their capabilities.

The recognition is meant to highlight companies that show strong platform relevance in a short period, rather than reward a single listing or isolated metric. It does not follow a fixed application process and is not tied to directory rankings or evaluations.

Partner of the Month is designed to offer additional visibility for companies that are actively aligned with the platform’s structure and categories during that time.
