Conditional free route directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- Free tier requires a reciprocal backlink to Webspot (a 'featured badge' linking back to your listing) verified by them
- Free listings sit in a 30-day review queue; paying $12.99 skips it
- An account (email, Google, or GitHub) is required before the submit form opens
Requirements
- Account registration (email/password or Google/GitHub OAuth)
- For the free plan: place Webspot's badge/backlink on your site — they run a 'Verify backlink' check
- Free plan: expect up to 30 days for review and listing
Prepare before opening the form
- Product name, URL, description, categories/tags (they have a deep tag taxonomy)
- A page where the Webspot badge/backlink can live if using the free tier
- Logo/screenshot for the listing card
Workflow
- Register an account at webspot.app/submit
- Complete the submission form (fields gated behind login)
- Choose plan: Free (add their backlink/badge first, then wait ≤30 days) or pay $12.99 for immediate listing
- If free: add the featured badge to your site and use their 'Verify backlink' step
- Listing appears as a details page with upvotes and a 'Visit Website' link
Watch for
- The free tier's cost is a reciprocal link — decide whether a 'Featured on Webspot' badge fits your site
- Free review can take up to 30 days and comes with 'no customer support'
- '3 dofollow links' is the headline promise — treat AI-assistant-visibility claims ('show up in ChatGPT/Claude answers') as marketing
- Listings carry upvote counts; engagement appears modest (top items show single-digit votes)
What counts as live
A public details page exists on webspot.app for the site, browsable via search/category/tag pages, with a Visit Website link
Not verified
- Exact submission form fields (gated behind account creation)
- How strictly the reciprocal-backlink requirement is enforced/re-checked over time
- Real referral traffic — vote counts suggest low community activity
