Three ways to work with AEC Hub as a vendor
AEC Hub is read by principals and technology leads at architecture and engineering firms deciding which tools to adopt. Vendors can be listed for free, pay for labeled placement, or work with us on how firms adopt their product. When you just need something built, we also work by the hour.
Listed
Free
A tool page on AEC Hub, in search and in AI recommendations when the tool fits the task.
- A tool page alongside the 550+ tools we track, with your description, pricing, and a tracked link to your site
- Included in tool search and in AI recommendations whenever the tool matches what a firm describes
- An AEC Hub review on request, written in the order firms ask for them
- User reviews from signed-in members
- Corrections to your listing within a week of hearing from you
- A vendor-confirmed mark on your page and card once you have checked the details, with the date you confirmed them
Featured
$1,000 a year
Everything in Listed, plus labeled placement on the four surfaces where firms choose tools.
- A featured card on the homepage
- A pinned card at the top of your category in the tools list
- A featured card after AI recommendation results when a firm's task matches your tool
- A card in the matching layer of a curated stack, where one applies
- An AEC Hub review written within 30 days, with your claims attributed to you
- A quarterly report of clicks from each placement, from our own tracking
- A case study with a named firm once a deployment is measured
- Every placement carries a small Sponsored tag, and none of it changes rankings or review conclusions
Custom
From $5,000
Everything in Featured, plus strategy and hands-on work for AEC technology companies: product, market, and the firms adopting your tool.
- Strategy for AEC technology companies: product, positioning, pricing, and roadmap, in one-on-one sessions
- Go-to-market: which firm types, which workflows, and what to say to a principal versus a technology lead
- User experience testing with architects and engineers on your product, with findings written up
- A review of your data model and integrations against how firms run their projects
- AEC-specific M&A strategy: targets, fit with a firm's stack, and diligence on what a product does
- Implementation support for firms adopting your tool: pilots, integration with their systems, and training
- We also do hourly engineering when the work is a day or two rather than an engagement, such as a data pipeline, an integration, or fixes during a firm's pilot
- Scoped and priced per engagement after a call
Ad hoc
Hourly, priced on request
Build work for a specific problem, without a scoped engagement around it.
Tell us what you need built and we start. A prototype of an AI feature inside your product. An integration with Revit, Autodesk Construction Cloud, Procore, or a firm's Microsoft 365. An agent that does one job well, such as reading drawings, drafting responses, or checking a model against a standard. A data pipeline, an evaluation harness for your model, or a demo for a sales call next week. No scope document first. You see progress as it happens and you stop when it is done.
We quote the rate when you tell us what you need, then bill in half-hour increments and invoice monthly. Anything that grows past a few days can be rescoped as a Custom engagement.

Placement and independence
Paid placement buys position and a label. It does not buy a ranking, a review conclusion, or a recommendation. The recommender ranks tools first and adds a featured card afterward, only when the featured tool matches the task and only when it did not already rank on its own. A tool that ranks on merit shows in the results without the tag.
Reviews are written by AEC Hub from your public material and anything you send us. We attribute claims we cannot verify to you, and we correct facts you point out. The conclusions are ours. How the recommender works is described on the methodology page.
We cap featured placement at two tools per category so the slot stays worth having.
