Questions, answered
Something else? Contact us.
Is The Freaky Blog independent?
Yes. We've written about WordPress since 2018. Vendors can't pay for a higher score or a better ranking, and claiming a listing is free.
How do you rank products?
Each guide opens with our editors' picks, based on years of using these tools on real sites. The rest are ranked by ratings from WordPress.org, G2, Trustpilot and Reddit, weighted by how many people use each one.
Is it free to use?
Yes. You never pay us anything and you don't need an account. Some links are affiliate links: the vendor pays us a small commission and your price stays the same.
When are WordPress tools cheapest?
Late November. Most vendors run their biggest sale of the year around Black Friday (November 27, 2026) and Cyber Monday. Track your stack and we'll email you when prices drop.
Can I list my product?
Yes. If it isn't in the directory, submit it for free and we'll research it and publish its pages. If you make it, claim your vendor page to manage all your products, deals and coupons.
