## Is Direct2App worth it?

A fair choice for a cheap followed link: every product link checked carried only rel noopener. The free plan is fine if you accept a badge and a wait of up to 30 days. Pro at $12.99 removes both. Premium at $34.99 mainly buys featured placement in a directory of under 600 items, which is hard to justify for traffic. Expect a backlink, not customers.

## Who should submit to Direct2App?

Suits SaaS and AI makers building a list of followed backlinks who are fine with a badge or a small one-time fee. Less useful for products that need real buyer traffic or a launch day, and for makers who cannot add a badge and do not want to pay.

## What you need before you submit

- An account via Google, GitHub or email
- Product URL, name, short description and a Markdown introduction
- A square icon and a 16:9 image
- At least one category and tag
- Free plan only: the Direct2App badge linking to your listing

## Tips
