## Is Appydev worth it?

Worth a few minutes for any developer or design tool. The listing is free, needs no account, and the tool page links out with a followed link and is set to index. The catch is silence: no review time is published and there is no dashboard, so you cannot check status. Submit once with a clean logo, a cover image and the right category, then search the site a few weeks later. If the tool is a fit, the separate guest post route (800 words or more) is a stronger way in.

## Who should submit to Appydev?

Suits makers of developer tools, CSS and JS libraries, design resources, no-code tools and small web utilities, since that is what the categories cover. Also fine for AI tools that solve a concrete task. Less useful for consumer apps, B2B services or anything outside the web-making space, which will sit in a Misc category with little relevant traffic.

## What you need before you submit

- Tool name and website URL
- A category from the list of about 30
- A logo and a cover image (1200 x 675 recommended)
- Optional tagline
- No account needed

## How to submit

1. Open appydev.co/submit/tool
2. Enter the name, website, optional tagline and category
3. Upload a square logo and a cover image
4. Work through the remaining steps of the four-step form
5. Submit, then check the site later for your tool page

## Pros

- Free, with no account
- Followed link from an indexable tool page
- Categories fit developer and design tools well
- Separate guest post route for in-depth articles

## Cons

- No published review time
- No dashboard or status page after submitting
- Audience skews to web developers and designers only

## Tips

- Pick the narrowest category that fits rather than Misc
- Use a cover image that shows the product, since it fills the card
- If you built a developer tool, pitch a tutorial through the blog submit page
- Keep a note of the date you submitted, since there is no tracking
