AppBoard.pro vs PeerPush
PeerPush is the platform closest to AppBoard.pro: both are built for discovery by people and AI. The differences are price, the score, and what each board is built around.
The short version
PeerPush is the better fit when you want a platform with a bigger audience, build-in-public tools (product updates, MRR tracking, growth snapshots), a newsletter and a directory-submission service in one place.
AppBoard.pro is the better fit when you want a cheaper instant launch ($9.99 or $19.99 against $39 to $229) and a score that payment never touches: on AppBoard.pro a paid launch buys featured placement, not points.
Side by side
| Feature | AppBoard.pro | PeerPush |
|---|---|---|
| Cost to launch | Free to submit and list. Free launches publish in queue order, behind paid ones. Quick Launch goes live at once: $9.99 with 7 days featured, $19.99 with 30 days. One-time, nothing renews. | Free submitters "wait in line behind paid users". Standard Launch $39; with 7 days of promotion $89; with 30 days $229. One-time. |
| Does payment touch the score? | No. The score has no money term, and promotion never adds to it. | Paid plans add PeerPush points: +10, +20 or +40. PeerPush's own comparison lists points from community engagement as part of its ranking. |
| How ranking works | One public score from upvotes, saves, follows, ratings, real click-throughs, invested reputation and freshness. It has no money term: promotion buys featured placement, never rank. | Points from community engagement (upvotes, comments, visits), plus votes and follower count. |
| How long it stays visible | Daily, weekly and monthly races, then a permanent listing on category, use-case, platform and alternatives pages. Upvotes count at full weight for 7 days. | Ongoing: product updates and engagement keep a listing active, with a permanent listing link. |
| API and AI access | Open MCP server for AI assistants, a free REST API, and the whole catalogue in llms.txt and llms-full.txt. | REST API and an MCP server for AI assistants and coding agents. |
| Build in public | Makers write Stories (articles) on the site; no MRR tracking. | Product updates, MRR milestones and historical growth snapshots. |
| Extras | Sponsor row above every page from $14.99 a week. | Directory submissions from $149; sponsored placement from $129 a week; a newsletter. |
| Reach | Public since 30 July 2026. A young board: expect a smaller audience than older platforms. | Says it has over 1.2 million monthly visits and a 37k+ newsletter. |
How they differ
Price of an instant launch
Both boards let you submit free and wait, and both sell a launch that skips the wait. On AppBoard.pro that is $9.99 with a week of featured placement or $19.99 with a month. On PeerPush it is $39 for the launch, $89 with a week of promotion and $229 with a month.
Points you can buy vs a score you cannot
PeerPush's paid plans include a points bonus (+10, +20, +40), and its own comparison page describes ranking by points from engagement. AppBoard.pro keeps money out of the score entirely: the only currency that moves rank is reputation, and reputation is earned by taking part.
Build in public vs races
PeerPush is built around ongoing updates: post progress, track MRR, show growth. AppBoard.pro is built around daily, weekly and monthly races and the browse and alternatives pages a product lands on afterwards. Both expose their catalogue to AI through an MCP server.
