What you actually get
A card in one of 29 business-software categories, among them Marketing and SEO Tools, AI and Automation, Developer Tools and Website Development. The link is the reason to bother: of 149 outbound links on the homepage, 145 carry no rel attribute at all and only 4 are nofollow, which is the highest dofollow proportion in this DR band. The audience is small and states itself plainly on the homepage as 748 registered users.

How to submit to Platforms Directory

  1. Check you are not already listed
    Their own instruction on the sign-in page: if the product is already in the directory, claim the existing company account rather than starting a new one.
  2. Sign in with a one-time code
    List or Manage Product goes to signin.php, which takes an email address and mails a code. There is no password and no social sign-in. Their own banner warns that Microsoft 365 addresses often never receive it and recommends a Gmail or other non-Microsoft address.
  3. List the product from the dashboard
    Listing and editing both happen inside the account, which is why the flow is called List or Manage Product.

Gotchas

Getting in means reading an email. Sign-in is a one-time code with no password and no social option, so nothing about this platform can be finished without access to the inbox you use.
Their own banner says Microsoft 365 addresses frequently never receive that code, and recommends signing in with a Gmail or other non-Microsoft address instead. If your company mail is on Microsoft, expect to use a different address and to keep using it for every edit.
Claiming beats submitting if the product is already there. Their sign-in page asks you to check first and offers a company-account claim, so a duplicate listing is on you rather than on them.
