⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I’ve been using Directorist for my directory website for over a year now, and I can honestly say it’s one of the most reliable and feature-rich directory plugins I’ve worked with.I currently manage over 19,000 listings, and the plugin has handled them efficiently without major performance issues.
The interface is clean, user-friendly, and easy to customize, even for large-scale directories like mine.

Clickbait: absolutely no AI features
by andybroangel·Yesterday
The “AI-Powered Business Directory” title is clickbait. There are no real AI features. The AI builder is not connected to any model, and there is no MCP. It is basically a setup wizard that does not add anything to your workflow.
Beyond that, the first impression is that the plugin is very buggy.
Great plug in even better service
by sheff57·2 days ago
i used this plugin with minimal technical experience and required assistance. Many times. The software was far more comprehensive than my experience levelAnd I would have missed a lot of value. Each time I contacted support.I was responded to in a timely manner with solid advice. If the issue was over my head, they went directly to my site. And did it for me.As a kind gesture. I have nothing but praise further work. They’ve done for me and I can’t recommend them. And their plug in enough.
Thank you to you guys. I greatly appreciate all the effort and the great work

Directorist Functionality is Subpar and Has Minimal Support
by pizzalife·1 week ago·1 reply
Customer support is virtually nonexistent, and the directory requires a lot of tinkering to get working properly, especially if you’re not comfortable coding certain parts yourself.
