Where it sits in the data

Directorly's $1.6K MRR is higher than 80% of the 5,602 projects with payment-verified revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $150. Within the “Productivity” category (1,856 projects) it is higher than 87% (category median $102). Snapshot: 2026-09-02 to 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.

Currency

All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.

Could you build something like this?

My view is that demand would come from businesses and professionals who want a focused directory without operating the separate pieces needed to collect listings, publish pages, host a site, and accept payments. The buyer would need to decide which directory to operate and how listings will be collected and maintained.

My view is that distribution would need a clear acquisition path, such as search visibility, partnerships, direct outreach, or a course that demonstrates the product. The difficult parts would include keeping directory data accurate, supporting custom domains and integrations, handling payments, maintaining reliability, and competing with other directory-building tools.

Verdict: Needs real work.

One thing to take from it

The product brings listing collection, page building, hosting, payments, and directory monetization into one offering. For a founder, the useful lesson is to examine how several connected workflow pieces can be packaged within one product and a simple subscription structure.
