AlternativeTo: how to submit, cost, DR and traffic

AlternativeTo is a software review and B2B marketplace with about 2.1M visits a month and a Domain Rating of 80. Free. The product link is dofollow.

What AlternativeTo is

AlternativeTo is where people go to replace a tool: "alternatives to Trello", "free alternatives to Photoshop". If your product replaces something well known, it's one of the most useful free listings there is.

AlternativeTo at a glance

What a listing on AlternativeTo gets you

Adding software is free with an account (Google, GitHub, Apple or email). Fill in the form at alternativeto.net/manage-item; after moderation the app gets its own page and, more importantly, appears on the alternatives pages of the apps you list it against.

How to submit to AlternativeTo

1. Search AlternativeTo for your product first. If it's already listed, claim or update that listing instead of submitting again.
2. Open the submit page: alternativeto.net/manage-item/.
3. Fill in the form: product name, website, a short description written for this audience, category, logo and a screenshot or two.
4. Save the listing URL once it's public, so you can check the link later.

Submit to AlternativeTo with your AI agent

AgentLaunch is a launch kit you open in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. Your agent submits your product to 300+ hand-checked directories, AlternativeTo included, from your own browser, and tracks every listing. On AlternativeTo specifically:

• It already knows AlternativeTo's submit flow from the path we recorded (alternativeto.net/manage-item).
• It writes the listing copy for AlternativeTo's audience (software review and B2B marketplace) instead of pasting the same description everywhere.
• When AlternativeTo publishes the listing, it saves the URL and checks the dofollow link in your launch tracker.
