How to submit to Altern

  1. Open the Altern submission page

    This is the page makers use to add a product.

  2. Create an account

    Altern asks you to sign up before you can submit.

  3. Have your assets ready

    Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.

  4. Fill in the form carefully

    Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse Altern (People comparing AI tools and looking for alternatives), not for search engines.

  5. Wait for review

    A person reviews submissions, so it can take a while. Once it’s live, check the link on your listing points to the right page.

Tips for Altern

  • Sign in with GitHub or Google before submitting; no separate account is needed.
  • Paying doesn't guarantee approval: free and paid submissions face the same quality bar, and paying only changes placement.
  • Review usually takes a few days; you can update your listing or upgrade later from the Maker area.

From Altern’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.

What to prepare

The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for AI tool directories.

  • Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
  • A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
  • Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
  • 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
  • The exact page you want the link to point to
  • Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
  • The main task your AI does, in one plain sentence (e.g. “turns podcasts into short clips”)
  • Your pricing tiers, and whether there is a free plan or free trial
  • Which models or providers you use, if you say so publicly
  • 2–3 concrete use cases, each one sentence

Is Altern worth it?

Good for your SEO foundation

Altern reviews listings by hand and the listing link we inspected was followed. That combination is what makes a directory link worth having for a new site.

  • Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 50 (strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
  • Tranco rank #2,314,266: a small site, outside the top 1 million.
  • A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
  • There’s a free option. Start free and only pay for upgrades if the traffic justifies it.

This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
