How to submit to Softonic

1. Prepare the kit. A one-line pitch, a description, a square logo and screenshots. The listing guide lists what forms ask for; the tracker builds the kit from your website.
2. Open the form. Their submit page opens from the button above once you are signed in; signing in costs nothing.
3. Wait for the review. Every submission is scanned by antivirus engines and checked against the publishing requirements; it shows as pending, accepted or rejected, and a rejection comes with an email saying why. Pay only for a spot you asked for; the listing itself is what the price above says. Mark the result in your tracker yourself: our checks cannot read this site.
