Liners is the pan-African software directory where you can compare products, read reviews, track funding, follow launches, and explore the ecosystem.
You need a payment gateway for your business. Or a logistics platform. Or an HR tool. You search online and get a wall of ads, sponsored listicles, and "Top 10" posts that were clearly written by one of the companies on the list.
Sound familiar? That's the problem Liners exists to solve.
Liners is a directory of software products built for Africa. Every product gets the same structured listing: what it does, who it's for, where it operates, and what real users think of it. No company can pay for a higher ranking. No review gets filtered because it's negative.
The directory covers 18+ categories across 30+ African countries, from fintech and healthtech to logistics, edtech, and developer tools. If it's a software product serving the African market, it's probably on Liners.
Search and browse. You can filter products by category, tag, or country. Looking for B2B SaaS tools in Kenya? Crypto wallets in Nigeria? There's a filter for that.
Compare products side by side. Pick two or more products and get a detailed comparison of their features, pricing, and strengths. Liners generates these comparisons with AI, so they're structured, consistent, and actually useful.
Find alternatives. Every product page shows you alternatives in the same space. If you're using a tool and want to see what else is out there, this is the fastest way.
Read and write reviews. Real user reviews with structured ratings across things like ease of use, customer support, value for money, and reliability. If you've used a product, you can leave a review too.
Follow products you care about. Hit the Follow button on any product and you'll get a weekly digest when things change: new funding rounds, product updates, news mentions.
Track funding and investors. Liners tracks funding rounds across the ecosystem, including who invested, how much was raised, and at what stage. You can also browse investors active in African tech.
Read the news. The news section publishes daily coverage of what's happening in African tech, sourced from across the continent and summarized so you can scan it fast.
Explore the ecosystem. The African Tech Ecosystem page shows live stats: total products by category, funding trends, top countries by startup density, and more. It's a snapshot of the entire landscape.
Discover events. Conferences, hackathons, summits, and meetups happening across Africa are listed on the events page.
Submit a product. If you've built something, submit it for free. Every submission goes through a quality review before it gets published.
