Africa's software ecosystem has exploded over the past decade. From fintech platforms processing billions in transactions to SaaS tools powering businesses, developer infrastructure enabling the next generation of apps, and healthtech platforms reaching millions — there are now hundreds of products built for and from Africa competing for attention. But finding the right one for your needs? That's still harder than it should be.
That's why we built Liners — a transparent, comprehensive directory that lines up every software product in Africa so you can compare them side by side.
The African tech space is growing at an extraordinary pace. New products launch every week across fintech, e-commerce, developer tools, healthtech, edtech, and more. African startups have raised billions in recent years, and the continent is home to some of the most innovative software products in the world.
But with growth comes noise. Marketing claims get louder, it becomes harder to distinguish genuine innovation from hype, and consumers are left to navigate a crowded landscape without reliable guidance.
Liners cuts through that noise with three core principles:
Every software product on Liners is listed with the same format and the same level of detail. No company can pay to manipulate their ranking or hide negative reviews. What you see is what you get.
We believe the best insights come from people who actually use these products. Liners features structured reviews with ratings across multiple dimensions — from user experience and customer support to pricing and reliability.
Liners isn't limited to one country or region. From Day 1, we cover software products across Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, Ghana, Egypt, and beyond. Whether you're looking for a payment platform in Tanzania, a SaaS tool in Senegal, or a logistics platform in Rwanda, we've got you covered.
Liners organises software products into clear categories that reflect the African market:
Trust is the foundation of everything we do at Liners. In a space where people rely on these tools daily — to move money, run businesses, learn new skills, and access healthcare — we take our responsibility seriously:
Liners is more than a directory — it's a community of people who care about the future of software in Africa. Subscribe to our newsletter to stay up to date with the latest product launches, industry trends, and in-depth reviews.
Whether you're choosing your first digital bank, evaluating SaaS tools for your business, scouting logistics partners, or simply curious about where African tech is headed, Liners is here to help you find the right one.
Line up. Compare. Decide.
