How to add your startup to Sitelike
TL;DR
Sitelike (sitelike.org) is a free similar-websites finder: type a domain and it lists sites like it. Adding your own site is free, needs no payment step and is approved automatically once the system validates it. It suits startups with known competitors that want to appear when people search for alternatives to them.
What is Sitelike?
Sitelike is a search tool for similar, related and alternative websites. You enter a domain such as producthunt.com and get a ranked page of "sites like" it. The site says it ranks results by community votes, manual analysis by its team and internal signals such as keyword relevance, shared topics, audience overlap and popularity.
Every site page shows the title, description, categories and topics, plus third-party numbers where available: Semrush rank, Moz domain authority and Facebook likes. Visitors vote on whether two sites really are similar, write reviews and suggest missing alternatives.
Two honest notes. First, the domain authority of 31 shown here belongs to sitelike.org. The "visit website" link on a site page carries rel="nofollow" (checked on 30 October 2026), so a listing passes no SEO link value. Second, the "Latest" feed refreshes every five minutes and mixes real products with thin entries: in October 2026 it showed game-key shops, streaming sites and listings with blank descriptions. Your startup sits next to whatever the algorithm picks.
Who should submit to Sitelike?
- SaaS and web startups with clear, well-known competitors: your site can appear on their "alternatives" pages.
- Teams doing competitor research: the tool also shows who Sitelike thinks your rivals are.
- Skip it if you need dofollow backlinks: the outbound link is nofollow.
- Skip it if your product is adult, gambling or betting related: Sitelike refuses any site "not suitable for kids".
How much does Sitelike cost?
Sitelike says the service is "completely free". The add-site page lists no paid plans, featured slots or express review. The site earns money from Google display ads.
How do you share your startup on Sitelike?
- Open sitelike.org and type your domain in the search box. If your site is already in the index, you land on its page.
- If it is new, the system asks you to enter your website details. Fill in the form described on the Add/Update Site page and submit it. Sitelike says it will "check & validate and approve immediately".
- To fix an existing entry, search your domain and press Edit. You can change the title, description and keywords, then confirm the change through the email Sitelike sends you. The "Refresh Site Image" button updates your screenshot.
- To appear on a competitor's page, open their entry (the address looks like sitelike.org/similar/producthunt.com/) and use the suggestion form at the bottom. These suggestions get a manual review, and Sitelike approves them only when the sites are "completely similar".
Tips to get more out of Sitelike
- Write the description as a plain one-line pitch with your category words ("invoicing app for freelancers"), since topic and keyword matching feed the ranking.
- Suggest your startup under the two or three competitors your buyers compare you with, and nowhere else: off-topic suggestions get rejected.
- Ask a few real users to vote "yes, similar" on those pages, because community votes count in the ranking.
- Refresh the screenshot once your homepage is final.
