Best directories for developer tools
Where to list developer tools so customers can find you. We ran 5 real developer tool searches and counted which directories came up in the first ten results (3 did). Below: the 6 to claim first, each with a verdict and the evidence, then 177 more.
Online listing guide Measured Oct 20, 2026 (Google, US) 5 searches Thin evidence
The short read
- Most visible: PeerSpot, in 1 of 5 searches, best #7. Start there.
- Directories won only 4 of 40 top-10 spots. PeerSpot, Notion Marketplace and Notion Everything were the only ones seen, once each.
- Paid: test AIMCP (Model Context Protocol Hub) alone, with a tracked link and a stop date. We have no lead data for any paid platform.
How we picked
Every list on this page follows the same three rules, in this order. Each card says which rule put it there.
- 1
Seen in searches. How many of the 5 searches below a directory reached the organic top 10 in, then its best position. AI Overview citations break ties.
- 2
Then fit. Built for developer tools, then broad company profiles, then platform-only marketplaces.
- 3
Then popularity. Tranco top-1M rank, only to break ties. No domain authority.
How much to trust it
Thin evidence5 searches and 4 directory results. Enough to see who shows up at all, not enough to separate close picks.
- It shows
- Which directories Google put in the first ten results for these 5 searches on Oct 20, 2026, and how often directories won a spot at all.
- It does not show
- Traffic, calls or sign-ups from any listing; other phrasings or dates; ChatGPT and other AI answers. A directory missing here can still matter in your market.
What the searches showed. Directories won 4 of 40 first-page spots; publishers and vendor pages took most of the rest. Listings still reach buyers who compare on review and launch sites, so pick the few that fit and do them well.
| Search | AI Overview | Directories in first ten |
|---|---|---|
| “best api testing tools” | 0 of 9 | |
| “postman alternatives” | 0 of 9 | |
| “best code review tools” | 2 of 8 | |
| “best ci cd tools” | 0 of 9 | |
| “heroku alternatives” | 2 of 5 |
Who took the other spots: speedscale.com (#2), augmentcode.com (#1), echoapi.com (#1), softwaretestingmagazine.com (#3) and other sites that are not directories.

Prepare this before you submit
Keep it in one document. Most forms ask for the same things, and identical details everywhere are what make listings count.
- 1
A one-line description that names the category
Directories file you by category; vague pitches get misfiled.
- 2
Logo, three or more screenshots, and a short demo video
Almost every launch and review site asks for them.
- 3
A public pricing page
Review sites show pricing next to every listing.
- 4
Competitors you are an alternative to
"X alternatives" pages are where buyers compare.
- 5
A founder or company account with some history
Launch communities limit brand-new accounts.
- 6
Five or more customers willing to review
Review sites rank listings with reviews above empty ones.
What to skip
-
Paid "featured" slots on directories with no presence in your category searches
None of the paid placements are measured here; directories filled 10% of top-10 results in our 5 searches.
-
Planning around PeerSpot and Notion Marketplace and Notion Everything before checking eligibility
They show up in developer tool searches, but our census did not confirm they accept developer tools. Check the claim page before you plan around it.
-
Link-list directories that accept anything
They rarely send people, and a followed link from them is worth little.
-
Launching everywhere on the same day
Spread launches so you can answer comments and see which site sends sign-ups.
2 we couldn't confirm are live · Blocked or failing when we checked. Verify before you spend time.
Method and limits
- Measured presence. We ran 5 searches a buyer would type on Google US (desktop) on Oct 20, 2026 and counted which directories reached the first ten results. AI Overview citations are counted separately; for local guides, the map pack counts for Google Business Profile.
- Audience fit. Directories built for developer tools rank above ones that take any business.
- Popularity, as a tie-break only. Tranco top-1M list GQG5K. We don't use domain authority or DR scores.
Verdicts ("Best for online booking", "Best first claim") come from the same data: the evidence above and each directory's own description in our census of 185 directories that accept developer tools, checked Oct 20, 2026. Facts we could not establish are listed as not established, never guessed. 5 searches is a small sample; we will widen it. Full methodology
Common questions
Where should I list a new developer tool first?
Start with PeerSpot, Notion Marketplace and Notion Everything. PeerSpot appeared in 1 of the 5 searches we checked.
Which directories show up in Google for developer tools?
In our 5 Google US searches on Oct 20, 2026: PeerSpot (in 1 of 5 searches, best #7); Notion Marketplace (in 1 of 5 searches, best #1); Notion Everything (in 1 of 5 searches, best #5). Directories filled 10% of the organic top-10 results overall.
Are paid directories worth it for developer tools?
Test one at a time. Our census lists 1 paid platform that accept developer tools, led by AIMCP (Model Context Protocol Hub). We have no traffic or lead data for them, so judge with a tracked link and a stop date.
