§ About

The ranked directory for ABA.

ABA Rank is the ranked directory for applied behavior analysis software and services. We catalog practice-management platforms, session-note tools, RBT training programs, parent training services, and the rest of the working tooling that ABA clinics and BCBAs rely on day to day - and we rank them on a public formula anyone can inspect.

We built this because buying in ABA is harder than it should be. Clinic owners get the same three demos from the same three reps and still can’t tell a mature platform from a rebadged CRM. The sponsored tiles at the top of every listicle reward ad spend, not fit. We prefer to be honest about that: sponsored placements sit above the ranked list and are excluded from the rank itself. The ranked list is the ranked list.

If you work at a vendor we cover, you can claim your profile to verify details, add integrations, and respond to review-style feedback as that surface rolls out. If you spot a mistake on any profile, the suggest-an-edit link at the bottom of every page goes straight to our moderation queue. If you want to know how the ranking works, read How we rank.

§ About · FAQ

About ABA Rank, in plain English.

Who runs the directory, how it’s funded, how the editorial side stays separate from the commercial side - answered for reporters, vendors, and families.

What is ABA Rank?
ABA Rank is an independent ranked directory of Applied Behavior Analysis software, services, and clinics. It catalogs practice-management platforms, session-note tools, RBT training programs, parent-training services, and ABA clinics, and orders them on a public formula anyone can inspect. Rankings derive from four disclosed operational signals - qualified reviews, profile completeness, verification recency, and primary-category fit. None of them can be bought: no sponsor or subscription input enters the formula.
Who runs ABA Rank?
ABA Rank is operated by an editorial team with backgrounds in ABA practice operations and software product. The methodology, the editorial side, and the commercial side are run by different people and the methodology is published in full on the How we rank page. Named contributors on articles list their credentials, prior roles, and areas of expertise.
How is ABA Rank funded?
ABA Rank is funded by tiered vendor subscriptions - Claimed (free), Verified ($490/yr), and Sponsor ($1,490/yr). None of them affect ranking: as of methodology v3.0 subscription tier is not an input to the formula. What Sponsor buys is placement above the ranked list, carrying a visible sponsored chip - it never blends into organic rank. Editorial coverage runs on a separate track and cannot be purchased.
Does paying ABA Rank improve a vendor’s ranking?
No. As of methodology v3.0 subscription tier is not an input to the ranking formula, so there is no component of a vendor's position that money can move. All 100 Index points are earned through operational evidence: qualified public reviews (50 points, the largest signal), profile completeness, verification recency, and primary-category fit. Sponsored slots are visually distinct and sit above the ranked list - they do not reorder it. Versions before v3.0 did carry a capped paid tier signal; the methodology changelog at /how-we-rank records what changed and when.
How is ABA Rank different from G2, Capterra, or other directories?
Most software directories sort by ad spend with a thin layer of review-count theatre on top. ABA Rank publishes its full methodology, separates sponsored placements from the ranked list visually and structurally, focuses on the ABA market rather than a generic SaaS index, and includes ABA clinics alongside software and service vendors so families and operators can use the same directory.
How do I get my company listed or correct a profile?
New vendors can be submitted on the Suggest a vendor page; submissions are reviewed weekly. Vendors already on the site can claim their profile from the public listing to verify details, edit content, and respond to incoming messages. Spotted a factual error? The Suggest an edit link at the bottom of every page goes straight to the moderation queue.
How do I contact ABA Rank?
General inquiries go to hello@abarank.com. Press, including credential and methodology questions from reporters, goes to press@abarank.com. Methodology-specific questions and rerank disputes go to methodology@abarank.com. The editorial side and the commercial side route through separate inboxes by design.
