A directory platform you can rent as a hosted service or buy as self-hosted source code, with listings, events, classifieds, memberships and native mobile apps.
eDirectory is a directory platform from Arca Solutions. What sets it apart is that you can either rent it as a hosted service or buy the source code and run it on your own server, which almost no other directory platform offers.
Read the full review: eDirectory Review (2026): Pricing, Alternatives and vs Brilliant Directories covers everything below in more detail, with sources.
| Plan | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Professional | $99/month | Hosted, with "Powered by eDirectory" branding |
| Enterprise | $199/month | Hosted, white-labelled, phone support |
| Enterprise source licence | $1,499 one-time | Self-hosted PHP code, 30 days of support |
Yearly billing takes 25% off the hosted plans. All plans include unlimited listings and members, the mobile app builder and an Open API. Prices checked October 27, 2026.
You can own it. The source licence gives you the PHP code to host yourself. Upgrades need a separate support package, and you should check the current server requirements before you buy.
Native mobile apps. Every plan includes an app builder for real Android and iOS apps, published under your own developer accounts.
Lots of modules. Listings with reviews, events, classifieds, deals, banner ads, a blog, memberships with recurring billing, lead forms and claimable listings.
Payments. Stripe, PayPal Standard, Authorize.Net and Mercado Pago.
Refunds are only possible within 48 hours of purchase.
Renewal is automatic, with 30 days' written notice needed to cancel.
Branding stays on the cheapest plan. You need Enterprise for a white-labelled site.
Reviews trail Brilliant Directories: 4.2 on Capterra from 82 reviews, against 4.8 from 803.
A good fit if you want to own and host your directory software, or your members want a real mobile app. If neither matters, Brilliant Directories is cheaper and better reviewed, and GeoDirectory or Directorist on WordPress give you ownership for far less.

I built a test directory on Directory Easy. Here's what it's like to use, what it costs, when the lifetime deal pays off, the one thing that annoyed me, and who it suits.
