From our For consumer apps guide.- Should I list my app on AlternativeTo?
Yes, once it is out. People search AlternativeTo by the app they already use, so listing yours as an alternative to a well-known one puts it in front of people already looking to switch.
From our For consumer apps guide.- Which review sites matter for SaaS?
The ones your buyers read. For business software that usually means G2, Capterra, GetApp and TrustRadius; AlternativeTo matters when you replace a well-known app. Ask a few customers where they compared tools before they chose yours.
