A: Directify is a SaaS platform, your data lives on their servers, you're tied to their pricing forever, and customization is limited to what they allow. Directorist is a WordPress plugin, meaning you own your data, your server, and your platform completely. You also get the full WordPress ecosystem, deep Elementor/Divi/Gutenberg integration, and a far more mature feature set. One-time payment on AppSumo vs. paying a subscription indefinitely.
