If I buy tier 5, then are there any upsells/add-ons I will be required to pay for, or do I get EVERYTHING in BD (and everything that's upcoming, unlimited, updated forever)?
Can therapists/doctors on my platform sell digital products or courses from my platform (and I can earn commission from those sales)
P.S. If the answer is no, then I have urgent feedback. It's about the AI chatbot (Josh - Pre-Sales Guide) on your website, which tends to say YES to everything.

Is it possible to monetise the "patient" side as well...by restricting how many "doctor phone numbers/contact address" they can see in a given month? This is similar to the BARK.COM model...where they charge both patients and doctors for lesser restrictions. Introducing a "credit" system for patients and doctors. How many doctors' patients can CONTACT, and how many patients can doctors reach out t
I would like to inquire about the bilingual capabilities of Brilliant Directories, particularly in the context of Canada, where both French and English hold official status. Is there a built-in feature that supports content in both languages?
Additionally, I am curious about the verification options available within the platform. Can users display a "verified" badge on their profiles, and if so,...
