# 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.

- Website: https://appalist.com
- Submit at: https://appalist.com/submit
- Type: directory
- Free with a badge; paid plans shown only after sign in, nofollow link, asks for its badge or a link back, DR 57
- For: AI tools, SaaS
- Facts checked: 2026-11-13

## 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.

## What you need before you submit

- A Google account
- Product homepage URL
- The Appa List badge live on your homepage or footer, pointing to your reserved listing URL
- Tool name, a short description of up to 150 characters and an overview
- An icon, a screenshot, a pricing model and at least one category

## How to submit

1. Sign in with Google
2. Enter your product homepage
3. Copy the badge snippet, which links to your reserved listing URL
4. Place the badge on your site and verify it
5. Fill in the listing details and submit
6. Wait for moderation

## Pros

- Free route exists
- AI work focus keeps the category list practical
- Listing page includes icon, screenshot and pricing tag

## Cons

- Free listings checked are nofollow
- Badge required before the listing form opens
- Paid plans and prices are hidden until sign in
- No published approval time
- Shares software and listings with two sister sites

## Tips

- Check whether the badge is worth the space before you start, since the form stays locked without it
- If you list on the sister sites too, expect three badges for three near identical pages
- Keep the 150 character summary specific, since it shows on category pages
