Frequently Asked Questions
Everything solo developers need to know about promoting their software here.
How can I promote my app for free without marketing spend?
Submit your app to our directory. If your app charges upfront, offers a one-time lifetime in-app purchase, or is 100% free, we index it permanently. You get an optimized profile page, inbound store links, and AI search citation exposure without paying a cent.
How do I run a deal or sale for my app?
Claim your app in the Developer Dashboard by ticking "Are you the developer?". Once approved, click "+ New Deal" to set up a temporary price drop, $0 IAP promotion, or Apple Offer code link. Your app will automatically appear on our Deals page with an urgency countdown.
What apps are NOT allowed?
We strictly reject apps that lock core functionality behind recurring weekly, monthly, or annual subscription fees. If users cannot buy the app once or use it without continuous billing, it does not qualify.
Can I update my app details after submitting?
Yes. Our backend automatically synchronizes pricing, version numbers, and ratings from the official Apple App Store and Google Play APIs. Claimed developers can also edit their pitch directly in their dashboard.
