What you get
Placement that readers actually trust
We keep sponsorship limited and transparent, so it works for you and for the people choosing software.
Intent-rich audience
Visitors arrive looking for software to install. They compare apps, read deploy guides and click through to GitHub, which is the moment they choose a tool.
Clear, honest labels
Sponsored placements carry a Featured or Sponsored badge. Organic rankings stay based on GitHub data, so readers keep trusting the list and your placement.
Click reporting
Every outbound click is counted server-side without cookies or tracking pixels. You get a monthly report of views and clicks for your placement.
Privacy-friendly by design
No third-party ad scripts and no retargeting. Your brand appears next to fast, clean pages that respect readers, which is exactly what this audience expects.
Spots are limited per category and per week, so placements never crowd out organic results.

Who reads appsgit?
Developers, system administrators, home lab enthusiasts and small IT teams who want to run open-source software on their own servers. They visit to compare apps, find alternatives to SaaS tools and follow deploy guides.
Can any app be featured?
Featured listings are open to open-source, self-hostable projects and to services that help people self-host, such as hosting providers, backup tools and developer platforms. We decline anything misleading, closed-source products posing as open source, and unmaintained projects.
How are sponsored placements labelled?
Every paid placement shows a visible Featured or Sponsored label, and outbound sponsored links use rel="sponsored". Sponsorship never changes organic rankings, which are based only on GitHub stars and activity.
How do I pay and when does my placement start?
Send an enquiry with the plan you want. We confirm availability, send an invoice, and your placement goes live within two working days of payment. Plans run month to month and you can cancel any time before renewal.
