How to submit to Setapp

  1. Open the Setapp submission page

    This is the page makers use to add a product.

  2. Create an account

    Setapp 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 Setapp (Mac and iPhone users subscribing to a bundle of productivity apps), 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 Setapp

  • Apply only if the app is polished; Setapp approves based on quality standards
  • They say they are open to apps that fill gaps in their categories
  • App review is advertised as a 24-hour process once you are in

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

What to prepare

The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for productivity app 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
  • Every platform you support (web, macOS, Windows, iOS, Android, browser extension)
  • App Store and Google Play links if you have them
  • Integrations with calendars, email or other tools
  • Pricing and whether there is a free tier

Is Setapp worth it?

We couldn’t verify the link

We didn’t find a live listing we could inspect, so we don’t know whether Setapp links are followed. Judge it on audience and effort, and check your own listing’s link once it’s live.

  • Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 80 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
  • Tranco rank #14,617: an established site, inside the top 100,000.
  • A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
  • 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, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
