How to list your agency or service company on Clutch
TL;DR
Clutch is a B2B ratings and reviews site where companies compare agencies, software developers and other service providers. The entry profile is free, Clutch Verified costs $499 a year, and Advertiser placements come at custom prices. It suits startups that sell projects and services to other businesses, such as dev shops, design studios and marketing agencies.
What is Clutch?
Clutch lists service providers by category and location: web and app development, design, marketing, IT services and more. Buyers compare providers on verified client reviews, portfolio, minimum project size and hourly rate.
Reviews come in two ways. You submit client references and a Clutch analyst interviews them, or clients fill in Clutch's online review form, which Clutch verifies and edits for clarity before publishing. A free profile also gets you a listing on The Manifest, Clutch's sister site, and a chance at the research-based Clutch Leader Awards.
On each directory page Clutch sorts companies first by sponsorship tier, then by Clutch Rank, so paying customers sit on top.
Who should list on Clutch?
- Agencies, development shops, design studios and consultancies.
- Startups that sell services, such as outsourced development or growth marketing.
- Skip it if you sell a SaaS product or a consumer app. Clutch ranks service providers; software products belong on software review sites.
How much does Clutch cost?
Plans on the get listed page in October 2026:
- Basic, free: company information, simple analytics and a limited number of case studies. It comes without verification, without a link to your website from directory pages, and below verified providers.
- Verified, $499 a year: a document review and business credit check, a place above non-verified providers, a website link from directory pages, custom URLs on directory pages, unlimited case studies, no competitors on your profile, the Clutch Guarantee for new engagements, 365 days of performance data and a dedicated support rep. Clutch bills the 12 months upfront.
- Advertiser, custom pricing: priority placement on the service pages you choose, targeting options, a 90-day launch programme and a dedicated customer success analyst. Clutch publishes no prices, so ask for a quote.
How do you get your company on Clutch?
- Go to Clutch's get listed page and choose Basic, Verified or Advertiser.
- Sign in with LinkedIn, Google or a company email address.
- Fill in the profile: name and tagline, headcount, minimum project size, average hourly rate, website, locations, contact details and service focus. Setup takes about 10 minutes, then Clutch's team reviews and publishes the profile.
- Submit client references for your first reviews. Clutch analysts contact them for an interview, or you send them the online review form.
Tips to get more out of Clutch
- Collect 3 to 5 reviews before you pay anything. A profile with zero reviews gives buyers nothing to compare.
- Set an honest minimum project size and hourly rate. Buyers filter on both, and a mismatch wastes calls.
- Pick references from recent, successful projects and warn them that a Clutch analyst will call.
- Use the free extras: review badges and widgets for your website, and contributed articles for Clutch.
- The DA of 67 belongs to clutch.co. On the free plan directory pages do not link to your site at all, so the $499 plan is the cheapest way to get that link.
Our verdict
For agencies and dev shops, a free Clutch profile with a handful of verified reviews is table stakes. The $499 Verified plan earns its price once reviews come in, because it lifts you above unverified rivals and adds the website link. Sponsorship makes sense only when you know your average deal size.
