Submit your tool to Appa List

Appa List is a directory of AI apps for everyday work such as writing, design, marketing, automation and productivity. Submitting needs a Google sign in, and the free route asks you to place an Appa List badge on your site first.

Go to the submit page Nofollow link Free with a badge; paid plans shown only after sign in

Is Appa List worth it?

Hard to recommend for links. Listings checked whose sites carry the Appa List badge link out with nofollow, while a handful of listings without the badge get followed links, which points to paid placement. Plans and prices only appear after sign in. It runs on the same software as weliketools.com and AI Tech Viral, so one badge per site adds up fast. Consider it only if you are listing AI work apps and want one more page about your product.

Who should submit to Appa List?

Fits makers of AI tools for writing, design, marketing and productivity who do not mind a badge and an account. Not useful for developers chasing followed links on the free route, and not a fit for products outside AI work apps. Anyone already listed on weliketools.com or AI Tech Viral will get a near identical page here.
