Is WebAppRater worth it?
Worth $29 if you want one permanent editorial article with a followed link, not a directory row. The site now publishes mostly top 5 roundups and some off-topic sponsored posts, so expect modest referral traffic. Send a working app with a clear angle and a demo login so the reviewer has something concrete to write about. The $249 network package spreads reviews across sister blogs, which adds links but little audience.
Who should submit to WebAppRater?
Suits makers of web apps, SaaS products and mobile apps who want a written review and a followed link for a small fee. It does not suit anyone looking for a free listing, launch day traffic or a community that votes and comments, since every review is paid and published on a blog.
