Submit your tool to SoftwareWorld

A B2B software and services review site that publishes category rankings and top software lists. Vendors register with a business email, then claim an existing profile for free or pay a one-time $99 approval fee for a new listing.

Go to the submit page Nofollow link $99 once for a new listing, claiming is free

Is SoftwareWorld worth it?

Worth checking if your product already has a profile, since claiming it is free. Paying $99 for a new listing is hard to justify for SEO: on every profile checked, links to vendor sites carried rel=nofollow, and many Visit website buttons point to affiliate links for sponsored competitors. It can help B2B products that want to appear in comparison lists buyers read, but ranking placement is sold separately.

Who should submit to SoftwareWorld?

Suits established B2B SaaS and agencies that want a presence on comparison and review sites and already have a profile to claim. It does not suit early-stage indie products, consumer apps, or anyone who wants a followed backlink, since vendor links are nofollow and new listings cost $99.

What you need before you submit

  • A business email address for the vendor account

  • $99 one-time approval fee for a new listing
  • Product or company details for the profile
