Sponsor a Listing on Softstribe

Yes, you can sponsor a listing: your software gets a clearly labelled section on a relevant Softstribe alternatives page, with a short description and a permanent link to your site.

What does a sponsored listing include?

  • A dedicated section on the alternatives page you choose, above the ranked list.
  • A short description of what your product does best, written with you.
  • A permanent link to your website.

How are sponsored listings labelled?

  • Every paid placement carries a Sponsored badge.
  • Sponsored links are marked rel="sponsored", following Google's rules for paid links.
  • Sponsored listings sit outside the ranked list, which stays based on our scores and readers' votes.

What do we accept?

Software and apps that are a real alternative for readers of the page. Before publishing, we check every claim in the description against your own website. We may decline products that are not a fit.

FAQ

Does sponsoring change the ranking?

No. The ranked list is built from our scores and readers' votes. Sponsored listings appear in their own labelled section above it.

How are sponsored links marked?

Sponsored links are marked rel="sponsored", as Google requires for paid links. They are permanent, clickable links that send visitors straight to your site.

Which pages can I sponsor?

Any alternatives page where your product is a genuine alternative, for example a strength training app on "Best StrongLifts 5x5 Alternatives".
