What Row.so is
Row.so is a paid web and API service for creating live, SEO-ready directories from a niche prompt or Google Sheet without code. Directories can use Card Grid, Upvote List, or interactive Map Locator layouts. Its visual editor covers home, category, and detail pages, with eight custom field types, filters, and custom HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. The AI builder can generate categories, tags, listings, descriptions, and brand logos from a niche description. Google Sheets sync works both ways, with Row.so changes syncing in real time and sheet changes syncing automatically or manually. Native payment connections include Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Polar, and PayPal, and Row.so says listing sales and recurring subscriptions carry 0% commission. SEO metadata, XML sitemaps, OpenGraph cards, Schema.org markup, and llms.txt support publishing. Launch costs $24 a month, billed yearly, for one directory, one workspace, and unlimited rows.
