Sponsored Listings
Sponsored Listings is one of the ways to monetize your web directory. You don't have any way to create sponsored plans to accept payments for the listing submissions.
Anyhow, if you are planning to organize a free directory website you can still monetize using the Google Adsense program. The free version provides a functionality that places Adsense ads easily.
Advanced Fields Editor
eSyndiCat free version is only limited to several hardcoded listing fields. Your submitters can input listing title, description, URL, and reciprocal URL. These fields are enough to build a basic directory.
Paid version has a built-in fields manager and you can modify your listings field set through an admin panel. If you plan to get the max of your directory website we highly recommend to upgrade.
