Hi, on Monday we've launched a beta version of MAQTOOB, a platform for entrepreneurs and freelancers, which helps you easily discover useful and affordable tools to grow your business. At the moment, you can browse over 530 business tools in 44 categories.

Because we're just starting out, we also need your help. There aren't many app reviews and ratings, yet. Please look around and if you come across a tool you're using, or used in the past, share your feedback and help others with their choice.

The main objective is to introduce products tech startups make to the wider non-tech entrepreneurial audience. I’d be happy to hear your feedback:)

This seems really neat!
One thing that bothered me is that when I viewed the description on a specific site, the categories wouldn't show up.

That's just a small detail though. The site's looking good! Keep up the good work.

Thank you!

As for monetization - to submit an app is for free (anybody can do it) but the free listing has its limitations (1 screenshot, description max 250 char.). The premium (paid) listing can feature up to 10 images, social media links, logo, about/features/pricing tabs (up to 1000 char.) and app creators can interact with ppl who submitted reviews. During the beta testing, we offer it for free, though. Apart from freemium - at a later stage advertising - (to be gradually developed into independent ad platform).

Not so many, actually. GetApp is clearly targeting enterprises and it's not so user friendly. It's not a website your mom would use when she decides to start earning some money on the side.

We focused from the beginning on developing a super simple and easy-to-get interface. We tested it on people whose IT skills don't exceed posting on Facebook. I don't see websites you mentioned, or tools like Product Hunt (for startups), as strictly direct competition. I always felt that there's a huge neglected group of people who have never even heard about things like Wordpress, Dropbox etc. And for those, I am doing it in the first place.

And yes, everything has been here before - we can only make it better. I hope it's a bit clearer:)

Why aren't you using affiliate links to link out to the website - eg shopify affiliate program
