What you actually get
A listing on their Alternatives pages, which are built per proprietary product: Buffer, Stripe, Vercel, Cursor and so on. That framing is the traffic, since those pages target people already searching for a replacement.

How to submit to AlterBase

  1. Sign in
    Google, GitHub or a password, from /login. This is where the flow currently ends.
  2. Submit from the dashboard
    The form lives at /dashboard/submit and is unreachable while sign-in is down.

Gotchas

Sign-in is broken and the site does not say so. The Google button hands off to qmkgcvlkhgranvlbsogi.supabase.co, which does not resolve at all, so their auth backend has been deleted or paused while the site keeps inviting submissions.
The public pages work normally, so nothing warns you until the moment you try to sign in.
The Alternatives pages are the product: listings are framed against a named proprietary tool, so a product with no obvious counterpart fits badly.

Let your agent submit to AlterBase

Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the AlterBase playbook and gets the brief for this exact form, with the values already taken from your submission pack instead of placeholders you fill in by hand.

What it does for this platform
Checks your product against the 3 AlterBase rules above, so you find out you would be rejected before you open a tab.
Hands your agent all 1 fields this form asks for, none of them optional, already filled from your pack.
Types it into AlterBase in your own browser, and stops for you when the form wants a sign-in.
Records what it sent, so the dashboard can answer "did I ever submit to AlterBase?".
