How to get your app listed on GetApp
GetApp has no separate sign-up: its Get listed link opens G2's seller login, and the profile you manage there feeds GetApp along with G2, Capterra and Software Advice. Profiles are free, and sponsorship buys placement in some lists. Setup takes about an hour; GetApp does not publish a review time.

Before you start
- A LinkedIn account or business email for G2's seller login.
- Clear public pages listing your core features; GetApp checks required functionality against sources such as your website.
- Pricing details, including a free plan or trial if you have one.
- Logo and screenshots, plus a list of integrations if you offer them.
- A review plan aimed at North American users, since Category Leaders requires reviews from that region.
- Patience: Category Leaders reports use 24 months of reviews and are published on a schedule.
How to list on GetApp, step by step
Know the route
The Get listed link in GetApp's footer opens g2.com/seller_login. GetApp says its profiles combine information from providers with its own research, so the details you enter in the G2 portal are what shapes your GetApp page.
Sign in and add or claim the product
Use LinkedIn, Google or a business email. Search for an existing page before adding a new one, and claim it if it is there.
Match your profile to your website
GetApp authenticates pricing and features to confirm category fit. If your site and profile disagree, fix the site first.
Think small business
GetApp describes itself as a recommendation engine for small businesses. Write your description around a small team's problem, not enterprise rollouts.
Collect reviews
Reviews sent through G2's shared flow count across all four marketplaces. GetApp's Category Leaders FAQ says it does not matter which of the sister sites a review lands on.
Track Category Leaders
You do not apply. GetApp automatically considers every product with a profile that meets the criteria, and says vendor client status plays no part.
Why submissions get rejected
- Fake product or company details, or misleading information (G2 community guidelines).
- Fake reviews, reviews from your own staff, or review campaigns that screen out unhappy users.
- For Category Leaders specifically: fewer than 20 GetApp reviews in 24 months, no North American reviews, missing core functionality, or a product that serves only one niche.
Tips that make a difference
- Category Leaders scores five things users rate: ease of use, value for money, functionality, customer support and likelihood to recommend. A low score in any one can keep you out, because each has a minimum.
- GetApp says it does not accept information from vendors for Category Leaders reports. The only lever it names is collecting more reviews.
- Reports are snapshots. New reviews after publication only count in the next edition, so time your review pushes before the cutoff on GetApp's research calendar.
- GetApp tells buyers it may earn a referral fee when they visit a vendor through its links, so expect sponsored listings next to organic ones.
- Do not set up a GetApp-only profile strategy. Because profiles and reviews are shared with G2, Capterra and Software Advice, one clean profile serves all four.

Questions people ask
Is GetApp free for software vendors?
Yes. GetApp says its product profiles are free to any software provider. Providers can pay to sponsor a profile for premium placement in some marketplace content.
Who owns GetApp?
G2 bought GetApp, Capterra and Software Advice from Gartner in 2026. GetApp's own Get listed link now goes to G2's seller login.
How do I become a GetApp Category Leader?
You need at least 20 GetApp reviews within 24 months of the research start, minimum normalized ratings in five areas, reviews from North American users, and the category's core features. Paying GetApp does not change your result.
Can I send GetApp information to improve my ranking?
No. GetApp says it neither needs nor accepts information from providers for Category Leaders. It builds the reports from reviews and public data.
