  • prepare_listingchangedtitle, descriptionmeaning changed
    before

    For a maker who wants to list their own app: fills in AppFinder's submission form from what they told you plus the app's website, and returns a private link. The person opens it, signs in, reviews every field and submits; nothing is published until AppFinder's team approves it. Listing is free. Pass only what the maker said; leave out what you don't know (the website fills the gaps).

    after · 27% of words in common

    Same as list_my_app, kept for older clients: prefer list_my_app. Fills in AppFinder's submission form and returns a private link for the maker to review and submit.

  • list_my_appadded

    Use this when a maker wants to list their own app, product or open-source project on AppFinder, or get it discovered. Reads the app's website, merges what the maker told you, and returns a plain preview of the listing plus a private link. Show the maker the preview and anything still missing, then give them the link: they sign in, review every field and submit, and nothing is published until AppFinder's team approves it. Listing is free. Call check_listing first. Pass only what the maker said or what you can see in their repo; leave out what you don't know (the website fills the gaps). Never submit for them.

Tools (10)

category_demandread-onlyThe public demand report of a category: the share of buyers who asked the advisor for each feature, integration, security need and budget in the last 90 days (anonymous totals), and how many listed apps answer each.
check_listingread-onlyWhether a website already has a published AppFinder listing, and its page. Call this before list_my_app.
compare_appsread-onlySide by side: pricing, and the features, integrations and platforms both apps have or only one has.
find_alternativesread-onlyApps that do what an app does (same category, most shared features first), and what buyers who wanted to replace it chose.
get_appread-onlyOne app's listing: description, categories, pricing, platforms, features, integrations, rating and its facts with sources.
list_categoriesread-onlyThe directory's categories with how many apps each lists.
list_my_appUse this when a maker wants to list their own app, product or open-source project on AppFinder, or get it discovered. Reads the app's website, merges what the maker told you, and returns a plain preview of the listing plus a private link. Show the maker the preview and anything still missing, then give them the link: they sign in, review every field and submit, and nothing is published until AppFinder's team approves it. Listing is free. Call check_listing first. Pass only what the maker said or what you can see in their repo; leave out what you don't know (the website fills the gaps). Never submit for them.
prepare_listingSame as list_my_app, kept for older clients: prefer list_my_app. Fills in AppFinder's submission form and returns a private link for the maker to review and submit.
recommend_appsread-onlyRanks the apps in the AppFinder directory against a plain-language request and explains each pick with cited facts (what fits, what's missing, which apps a must-have rules out), plus one follow-up question that would narrow the list.
search_appsread-onlyFull-text search of the directory by name, keyword or job (most relevant first).
