How to get your app reviewed on Apps400
TL;DR
Apps400 is an app review blog that has run since 2010 and covers iOS apps, Android apps, web apps and SaaS tools. Every review is paid: $49 for a priority review on Apps400, $99 for a bundle on 3 sites and $349 for a package across 12 sites. It suits app and SaaS founders who want a fast written review and accept that it is marked as sponsored.
What is Apps400?
Apps400 is an English-language review site for mobile and web apps. It belongs to a network of 12 sister sites run by the same team, including Game400, Gadget400, Apps4Review, AppsMirror and WebAppRater.
The site publishes new pieces every few days. In October 2026 it ran reviews of the Google Gemini app (26 October), Gears of War: E-Day (23 October), Zapier (7 October) and Snapseed (6 October), plus app development guides.
The editorial team writes each review after using the app. The submit page states that Apps400 does not publish copy supplied by the developer and does not guarantee a positive review.
Who should submit to Apps400?
- Indie developers launching an iOS or Android app who want a written review to quote on their website and store page.
- SaaS and web app founders: Apps400 reviews web tools alongside mobile apps.
- Skip it if you have no budget. Apps400 lists no free review option.
- Skip it if your app deals with gambling, betting, casinos, adult content, pharmaceuticals or supplements, or financial advice. Apps400 refuses those, and link-placement requests too.
- Skip it if you want SEO link value. The terms say all paid placements are marked as sponsored under search engine guidelines.
How much does Apps400 cost?
Coverage on Apps400 is paid only. The submission form lists three packages (October 2026):
- Priority Review on Apps400.com: $49
- Bundle review on 3 sites (Apps400, Gadget400, Game400): $99
- Apps400 + Network Review, 12 reviews: $349, across Apps400, Game400, Gadget400, Apps4Review, AppsMirror, AppsThunder, AppsListo, AppsTimes.in, Appiod, WebAppRater, AppsMamma and AndroidNewswire (app intro plus press release).
Network packages take up to 15 days to appear on every site. You get a refund within 7 days of payment if the review is not live yet, and declined orders are refunded in full. Published reviews stay online for at least 24 months.
How do you share your startup on Apps400?
- Open the Submit Your App for Review page and click through to the online form, which runs on Wufoo.
- Choose the app type (Android, iPhone, iPad, web application and others), then enter the app name and its App Store, Google Play or website URL.
- Pick a package, add your name and email, and tick both terms boxes.
- Send the form. The editorial team replies, payment is taken at the time of order, and the review goes live within 7 to 10 working days of payment clearing.
Tips to get more out of Apps400
- Start with the $49 review. All 12 network sites belong to one publisher, so count the $349 package as one source when you quote reviews.
- Make the app easy to test. Add a promo code, a demo login or a TestFlight link in your reply to the editors, so the reviewer reaches your best feature in minutes.
- Quote the review on your website and store listing with a link back. A link marked sponsored passes no ranking credit to you, so the review earns its keep as social proof.
Our verdict
Apps400 is active, cheap and fast, and it states its rules in plain words. Every review is a paid, sponsored placement, so buy the $49 review when you want a quotable third-party write-up for a launch, and skip the network package unless you need the extra placements.
