What is Directify?
Directify uses AI to generate directory websites from prompts. Fast setup but limited customization -- directories look generic and lack differentiation.
What is Custom Directory (Social Animal)?

Frequently Asked Questions
Directifyとは何ですか？
Directifyはプロンプトからディレクトリを高速に生成するAI駆動型ディレクトリビルダーです。高速セットアップですが、カスタマイズが制限されています--すべてのDirectifyディレクトリは同じように見え、機能します。
Directifyはいつ適切ですか？
ディレクトリコンセプトを最小限の投資で素早くテストする場合。ニッチに需要があるかどうかを確認したいだけの場合、Directifyは数時間で考えを検証できます。
なぜカスタムを選ぶべきですか？
あなたのディレクトリは他のすべてのDirectifyディレクトリと同じに見えます。カスタムスコアリングなし、ユニークな検索なし、ブランド差別化なし。カスタムはAIテンプレートが複製できない競争上の優位性を与えます。
カスタムはどのくらい高いですか？
Directify：$19-49/月。カスタム：$8K-18K一回限りの費用。カスタムは初期コストが高いですが、すべてを所有でき、競合他社はあなたの機能をクローンすることができません。
