FileYield
Listing marketplace where AI buyers contact data sellers directly.
Our verdict
A listing venue for companies that want buyers to approach them, with contracts and transfers handled directly between seller and buyer. It is not scored because its legal documents name two different operators and are marked as drafts. Confirm the operating company and final terms before listing.
The official program opens on fileyield.com. You can apply there directly.
