Comparing ways to find and buy tools

A registry lists servers, a client directory reviews them for one app, and a marketplace lets an agent buy what it uses. Each entry here says what a place lists, who reviews it and how you install from it, from its maker's own pages. Conecto is the place where an agent pays per call for business tools.

How to use this directory

Start with the category guide to see what each kind of place does. Open the Conecto profile for buying tools per call, then use the directory for registries and client directories. The practical entries cover checking a listing, publishing and paying.
