A Canadian review-led business directory operated by N49 Interactive Inc. Its pricing page is unusually blunt about what the free tier is not: the operator lists the free listing as carrying no website link, no verification and no support, with all three sold as upgrades.
Domain Rating is a dated Ahrefs snapshot of domain authority. PetroHrys Score is an independent editorial assessment of the directory’s practical business value. They are separate measurements and are never combined. Domain Rating values are dated historical Ahrefs snapshots. Domain Rating is a dated historical measurement of the shared domain, not an assessment of this individual registry page. New measurements are not collected because the Research Center does not depend on mandatory authenticated APIs. Where several registries are published on one measured domain they repeat that domain’s single dated snapshot rather than each carrying a figure of its own. Domain Rating is a third-party metric produced by their respective providers, not by PetroHrys.com. Each recorded value carries its provider and the date it was measured, and describes the domain that was measured rather than one page on it. No source has been consulted for authority score, estimated traffic and referring domains, so they are not published for any record.
The operator is named plainly in its own terms: “n49 is owned and operated by N49 Interactive Inc.”
The base listing is free and the terms say so twice over: “n49 does not charge members any fees for use of the site. n49 does not charge business owners to list their business on the site.”
The pricing page is exceptionally candid about the free tier’s limits, listing “No Website Link”, “Not Verified” and “No Support” as its own product description rather than leaving them to be discovered.
Paid tiers are priced openly, at $10.00 per month for a verified listing and $100.00 for a sponsored one, rather than being quoted only on request.
The terms recognise a distinct “Business Owner” role — someone who “has registered a business profile on the site” — so the creation route is defined in the binding document, not only in marketing.
Limitations
The free listing is explicitly NOT verified. The operator lists “Not Verified” as a characteristic of the free tier, and sells verification as a paid upgrade, so a free entry here carries no verification of any kind.
The free listing carries no link to your website. The operator states “No Website Link” for the free tier and lists a link only under the paid tiers. No link benefit is documented for a free listing and none is asserted.
The free tier also carries “No Support”, so there is no documented route to help if an entry is wrong.
Cost is not guaranteed to stay as it is. The terms reserve the right that “in the future, n49 may charge for any of the services and may change its fees from time to time in its sole discretion.”
Anything you post is licensed very broadly. The terms take “a non-exclusive, irrevocable, perpetual, fully-paid and royalty-free worldwide license (with a right of sublicense through unlimited levels and numbers of sublicenses)” over submitted content.
An account is required before a business profile can be registered, so this is not an anonymous submission.
Creating a profile is confirmed; claiming an existing third-party profile is not documented, so no claim flow is asserted.
Reviews are central to the platform, but whether a business can respond to them is not documented and is not asserted. The AI review tool bundled with the most expensive tier is a separate product and establishes nothing about replying on the free one.
How the operator verifies a paid “Verified Listing” is not documented, so no verification method is recorded.
A listing is a directory entry. It is not evidence that a business is solvent, currently trading, licensed, or checked beyond what the operator documents here.
No ranking, indexing, traffic or lead outcome is asserted. The operator markets outcomes; this record does not adopt them.
Canadian businesses wanting a free listing on a platform that documents its tiers and prices openly.
Businesses that want to know exactly what a free directory tier withholds before deciding whether to pay.
Not recommended for
Businesses expecting a free listing to be verified or supported. The operator states the free tier is neither.
Anyone whose reason for listing is a link to their own website. The operator states the free tier does not include one.

Establishing required submission assets requires submitting a listing and observing the result. That has not been done for any directory in this dataset, so it is not published rather than estimated.

The PetroHrys Score is a first-party editorial assessment, not a third-party
authority metric. It is the weighted sum of the ten factors above, divided by ten, so the number
on this page is reproducible from the values shown. Each factor is scored from 0 to 10 by a human reviewer and weighted as shown. The definitions describe what was weighed, not a rubric: no threshold or formula maps a directory onto a value, and two reviewers could reach different numbers. The score is reproducible from the factors shown on every record, but it is an editorial judgement, not a measurement.
