Built for directories that make money
Listings, filters, and detail SEO pages
Directory UX is first-class — not a CMS collection bolted onto a page builder.
Native paid listings
Charge for submissions and featured spots with Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Polar, or PayPal — 0% platform cut.
Google Sheets 2-way sync
Operate hundreds or thousands of rows from a spreadsheet. Page builders rarely treat Sheets as a live CMS.
AI niche seeding
Prompt a niche and get categories, sample listings, and logos — then customize design blocks.
Honest fit — pick the right tool
Choose Row.so if
Founders turning a niche list or Sheet into a paid directory with filters, submissions, and SEO pages.
Choose Dorik if
Teams building marketing websites, portfolios, and landing pages without directory-scale data.
Row.so vs Dorik
Is Row.so a Dorik alternative? +
Only if you are building a directory. Dorik is a general no-code website builder. Row.so specializes in searchable directories with paid listings, Sheets sync, and listing SEO.
Can I build a directory inside Dorik? +
You can list items on pages, but you will miss native paid submissions, directory filters, Map Locator, and Sheets 2-way sync. Row.so is built for that workflow.
When should I use both? +
Use Dorik (or any page builder) for your marketing site and Row.so for the directory product itself — or host everything in Row.so with custom pages.
Does Row.so include design control? +
Yes. Visual blocks for home, category, and detail pages, themes, fonts, and custom CSS/JS — focused on directory layouts rather than arbitrary marketing sections.
