From Arch User Repository (AUR)’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.

What to prepare

The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for plugin and template marketplaces.

  • 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
  • A build that passes the platform’s own review rules (read them first)
  • Screenshots taken inside the host platform, showing your add-on in use
  • Support and documentation links, and a changelog if you have one
  • Pricing in the marketplace’s format, and its revenue share if it takes one

Is Arch User Repository (AUR) worth it?

A followed link, with a low bar

The listing link we inspected was followed, but listings go live without human review. Directories that accept everyone tend to carry less weight, so treat it as a small plus, not a priority.

  • No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
  • Listings are published without human review.
  • Free to list, so the only cost is your time.

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