AlternativeTo

AlternativeTo’s core strategy is to **get your product listed on competitors’ Alternatives pages and capture “XXX alternative” search traffic.** ## 1. Submit Your Product Path: `Sign up → Suggest new application` Fill in: * Product name * Website * Description * Platforms * Pricing / License * Tags / Features * Logo / Screenshots Pricing: * Standard submission: Free * Priority Review: About **$5** * Priority review usually takes around **1–2 business days** * Paying only speeds up the review and does not guarantee approval ## 2. Get Listed as an Alternative to Competitors After your product is approved, go to a relevant competitor’s page: `Contribute to this page → Suggest Alternatives` For example: ```text Ahrefs alternatives Semrush alternatives XXX alternative best alternatives to XXX ``` If your product is genuinely similar to the competitor, it may be listed on these pages and receive ongoing, highly targeted search traffic. ## 3. Core Value * Competitor-keyword SEO traffic * High-intent referral traffic * Brand exposure * GEO / AI Search visibility Backlinks are usually **nofollow**, so the main value is not direct SEO authority. ## 4. Review Rules AlternativeTo has relatively strict review standards and may reject: * Simple AI wrappers * AI tool directories * Basic generators / converters * Review / comparison websites * Highly commoditized or overly simple products When submitting, emphasize: > **A complete software product + a clear use case + a real workflow** Avoid positioning your product as just a “tool directory” or a “small utility.”
