# Submit your tool to Indie App Circle

> Indie App Circle is a feedback exchange where indie developers test each other's apps for credits. You list your app with test tasks, testers try it and write feedback, and credits move only when you approve that feedback.

## Is Indie App Circle worth it?

Good for real usability feedback, weak for SEO. Free listings link out with nofollow, and a dofollow link needs the 19€ Permanent Listing or Pro. Use it before or around a launch: write two or three clear test tasks, set a fair reward, approve useful reports quickly, and test other apps to keep your credit balance up, since a listing pauses when it cannot pay one test.

## Who should submit to Indie App Circle?

Suits indie makers of web apps, mobile apps, extensions, games and small SaaS who want written feedback from other makers, including Android developers who need closed testing testers. Does not suit products that need a sales call to try, teams that only want a backlink, or anyone without time to test other apps in return.

## What you need before you submit

- An account (Google or email)
- A product a stranger can install or open and try
- 2 or 3 test tasks for testers
- Test 2 apps or buy credits before your app goes live

1. Sign up at indieappcircle.com
