100 Sites That Accept Product Reviews (With Submission Rules)

Getting a product reviewed is one of the fastest ways to earn trust, links and sales. The hard part is finding sites that actually take submissions. Many review blogs never answer cold emails, and others only cover products their editors buy themselves.

We compiled 100 sites that accept products for review, listing or rating. We opened each consumer site’s own review policy or submission page and noted how to apply, what it costs and what to expect. The list covers software directories, review platforms, tech and outdoor blogs, beauty, pets, food and drink, books, apps and music.

Software and SaaS Sites That Accept Product Reviews

These platforms let software makers create a profile, then collect reviews from real users. Most offer a free listing, with paid placements on top. For more launch ideas, our list of high-authority directory submission sites covers general directories.

1. G2

G2 is the largest B2B software review marketplace, with profiles for tools such as Slack, HubSpot and Salesforce. Buyers compare products on its Grid reports, which rank software by user satisfaction and market presence. Vendors such as PandaDoc, Siemens and Zuddl have published case studies on how G2 reviews brought in demo requests and pipeline.

How to get listed: Search for your product on G2 and use the Claim Profile flow, or create a new profile if none exists. The free profile covers your overview, screenshots, pricing and integrations, but you cannot edit or remove reviews. Paid profiles add branding, analytics and buyer intent data, and you need a base of verified reviews before your product shows up in most Grid reports.

2. Capterra

Capterra is the largest of Gartner Digital Markets’ three software directories, used mostly by small and midsize businesses. Buyers compare tools such as QuickBooks Online, monday.com and Zoho CRM side by side. Every review is screened by Capterra’s team before it goes live and shows the reviewer’s role, industry and company size.

How to get listed: Create a free vendor account on the Capterra vendor sign-up page and add your product with its category, pricing and screenshots. A basic listing costs nothing. Pay-per-click bids move you higher on category pages, and the same vendor account also feeds your GetApp and Software Advice listings.

3. GetApp

GetApp is the second Gartner Digital Markets directory, aimed at mid-market buyers who want feature-by-feature comparisons. Its Category Leaders reports rank tools such as Asana, Trello and Salesforce Sales Cloud using verified user reviews. Reviews collected on Capterra are shared with GetApp, so one review campaign covers both sites.

How to get listed: GetApp uses the same Gartner vendor portal as Capterra, so there is no separate sign-up. The basic profile is free. Paid pay-per-click campaigns raise your position in GetApp categories and comparison pages.

4. Software Advice

Software Advice completes Gartner’s trio and adds free phone advisors who match buyers with vendors. Its FrontRunners reports rank tools such as NetSuite, Salesforce and HubSpot by usability and customer value. The site is popular in verticals like medical practice, construction and HR software, where buyers want help with a shortlist.

How to get listed: List your product through the shared Gartner vendor portal used by Capterra and GetApp. The basic listing is free. Paid programs include pay-per-click placement and qualified leads passed on by the advisor team.

5. TrustRadius

TrustRadius focuses on long, detailed reviews from verified business users, and its audience leans toward enterprise IT. Reviewers are checked through LinkedIn or a screenshot of the product in use, which keeps fake reviews out. Vendors such as Salesforce, ServiceNow and Zoom collect reviews here, and its Top Rated awards are based only on review data, not payment.

How to get listed: Claim your free vendor profile on the TrustRadius vendors page and invite customers through your own review link. Answering every review, good or bad, helps your trScore over time. Paid plans add buyer intent data and the right to reuse reviews in your marketing.

6. Gartner Peer Insights

Gartner Peer Insights collects reviews from verified enterprise IT professionals in markets Gartner already covers. Vendors such as CrowdStrike, Microsoft and ServiceNow use it, and the Customers’ Choice distinction is based purely on peer ratings. Many enterprise buyers check it next to Gartner’s analyst reports before they sign a contract.

How to get listed: Your product must fit a market Gartner tracks, then you claim it through the Peer Insights vendor portal. Share your custom review link with customers, and Gartner verifies each reviewer before publishing. You cannot pay Gartner for a better rating, so the only route up is more verified reviews.

7. PeerSpot

PeerSpot, formerly IT Central Station, gathers in-depth reviews of enterprise technology such as security, backup and cloud tools. Many reviews come from structured interviews with real users, so they read like case studies. Vendors such as Palo Alto Networks, Veeam and Datadog appear across its comparison pages.

How to get listed: Contact PeerSpot’s vendor team to claim your product page, or let users add it. Free pages collect organic reviews from the community. Paid programs have PeerSpot interview your customers and publish the results as verified reviews.

8. SourceForge

SourceForge hosts open-source projects and a large directory of business software, run by Slashdot Media. Well-known projects such as Apache OpenOffice still distribute downloads through it. The business side lists commercial tools by category, with user ratings and comparison pages.

How to get listed: Open-source maintainers can register a project for free and host releases on SourceForge. Commercial vendors add a listing through the SourceForge vendor page. Paid promotion across SourceForge and Slashdot is available if you want more traffic than organic search sends.

9. AlternativeTo

AlternativeTo ranks software as alternatives to well-known tools, so people searching for ‘Photoshop alternatives’ find options such as GIMP and Photopea. Every listing is built by the community, which votes, comments and suggests new apps. Its pages rank well in Google for ‘alternative to’ searches, which makes a listing useful for discovery.

How to get listed: Create a free account, add your app with its platforms, license and the tools it replaces, and wait for moderator approval. Ask existing users to like the app and leave a short opinion. Listing is free, and you cannot buy a higher position.

10. SaaSHub

SaaSHub is an independent software marketplace that builds alternative and comparison pages, such as alternatives to Notion or Slack. Its audience leans toward developers and technical founders. Each product page shows user reviews, mentions from around the web and related tools.

How to get listed: Submit your product for free through the SaaSHub submit-software page. A moderator checks each submission before it goes live, and outbound links are nofollow. Paid promotion is available if you want a featured spot sooner.

11. Product Hunt

Product Hunt is the best-known launch platform for new tech products, with a daily leaderboard that tech press and investors watch. Many well-known tools, including Notion, built early buzz through Product Hunt launches. Your product page keeps collecting reviews and comments long after launch day.

How to get listed: Create a maker account and schedule a launch with a name, a short tagline, gallery images and a first comment explaining your product. Launches are free and go live at 12:01 a.m. Pacific. Product Hunt penalizes vote rings, so ask people to check out the launch, not to upvote it.

12. BetaList

BetaList features pre-launch and newly launched startups to an audience of early adopters looking for new products to try. A feature puts your startup in front of people who like testing beta tools and joining waitlists. Blogs, newsletters, courses, ordinary online stores and agencies are excluded.

How to get listed: Free submissions have ended, so every listing now goes through a paid form, with the price shown after you fill it in. You pay before the editorial review, and the full amount is refunded if your startup is not selected. Your product needs its own domain and a working way to sign up, download or access it.

13. Crozdesk

Crozdesk is a software discovery site that matches buyers with tools and scores each product on reviews and market presence. It lists help desk, CRM and marketing tools such as Zendesk and Freshdesk. Buyers can compare products and request quotes in one place.

How to get listed: Create a free vendor listing and complete your profile with pricing, screenshots and integrations. Invite customers to review you so your score rises. Paid visibility plans place you higher in categories and send you buyer leads.

14. SaaSworthy

SaaSworthy lists SaaS products with user reviews, a SaaSworthy Score and side-by-side comparisons. Buyers browse categories such as CRM, HR and project management, where tools like HubSpot and Freshworks appear. Comparison pages (‘X vs Y’) rank in search and send steady traffic to listed tools.

How to get listed: Submit your product through the SaaSworthy vendor form with your category, pricing and features. Basic listings are free. Paid plans add featured placement, lead generation and badges for your site.

15. GoodFirms

GoodFirms reviews software products and IT service companies, which makes it popular with development agencies and B2B software vendors. Its research team ranks firms on quality, reliability and client reviews. Listings cover categories from mobile app development to accounting software.

How to get listed: Create a free company or software profile and add your portfolio, pricing and client references. GoodFirms researchers verify reviews before they count. Sponsored positions are available if you want to appear above the organic rankings.

16. SoftwareSuggest

SoftwareSuggest is a software review and comparison site with a large audience in India and other growing markets. It lists business tools such as Zoho and Freshworks across hundreds of categories. Buyers can also book a free call with an advisor who suggests a shortlist.

How to get listed: Sign up as a vendor and add your product with screenshots, pricing and features. Basic listings are free. Paid lead programs pass on buyers who ask the advisor team for recommendations in your category.

17. Futurepedia

Futurepedia is an editorial AI tool directory with tutorials, a newsletter and a business-leaning audience. It lists popular tools such as ChatGPT, Midjourney and ElevenLabs alongside smaller AI startups. Many readers use it to find AI tools for marketing, writing and design work.

How to get listed: Submit your tool through the Futurepedia submit-tool page, where current listing prices are shown. Listings are paid, and outbound links are nofollow. Verified and featured placements cost extra and add badges and better positions.

18. There’s An AI For That

There’s An AI For That is one of the largest consumer-facing AI tool directories, organized by the task each tool performs. It tracks thousands of tools, from ChatGPT and Perplexity to niche AI apps for single jobs. Its newsletter and task pages send regular traffic to listed tools.

How to get listed: Fill in the submission form with your product name, live URL, tagline, description, logo, screenshots and pricing model. Basic submission is free. Featured and sponsored placements are sold separately if you want more exposure.

19. Toolradar

Toolradar is a curated software directory with more than 12,000 listed tools. It covers tools such as Slack, Notion, Figma, HubSpot and Ahrefs, along with comparison and category pages. Vendors can answer reviews, see analytics and add embeddable badges to their sites.

How to get listed: Listing is free, and auto-fill can pull your name, description and logo from your website. Submissions are checked automatically first, and a clean listing from a company that proves domain ownership goes live within minutes. Anything else is reviewed by a person within ten business days, and verified vendors get updates reviewed within 48 hours.

20. Future Tools

Future Tools is Matt Wolfe’s directory of AI tools, backed by his YouTube channel and newsletter. It lists tools such as ChatGPT, Runway and ElevenLabs, sorted by use case and pricing model. A mention in his videos or newsletter can send a large spike of traffic.

How to get listed: Submit your tool through the form on the Future Tools site. The team reviews each submission and decides what gets added, so there is no guarantee. A clear description of what your tool does and who it is for improves your chances.

21. Toolify

Toolify lists thousands of AI tools by category, with user ratings and monthly traffic estimates for each one. Product pages show visitor numbers, top countries and similar tools, so founders also use it for competitor research. It covers tools from ChatGPT and Canva to small single-purpose apps.

How to get listed: Submit your tool through Toolify’s submission page with a description, category and screenshots. Paid options get you listed faster or featured on category pages. Once listed, ask users to rate the tool so your page shows social proof.

22. Indie Hackers

Indie Hackers is a founder community with a product directory where makers share revenue and progress updates. Product pages can show Stripe-verified revenue, which builds trust with other founders. The community is active on milestone posts, so a good update can bring early users and feedback.

How to get listed: Create a free account, add your product page and connect Stripe if you want verified revenue shown. Post milestones and lessons learned in the community instead of plain promotion. Listing is free.

23. Uneed

Uneed is a daily launch platform for indie makers, where the community votes on new products each day. Products that score well on launch day keep a permanent page with a dofollow link. Products must be usable, so waitlist-only and invite-only tools are rejected, even on paid plans.

How to get listed: The free queue gives you a launch date at least 30 days out. Fast-track costs $14.99, and skipping the line costs $39.99. On the free plan, a launch-day score under 10 sends the product back to your dashboard, 10 to 19 keeps a nofollow page, and 20 or more keeps a dofollow page.

24. MicroLaunch

MicroLaunch is a launch platform where products stay featured for a month, so makers get feedback over time instead of in one day. Community members review, comment and vote throughout the month. It works well for small SaaS and side projects that cannot rally a big crowd on one launch day.

How to get listed: Sign up, add your product with a tagline, images and a description, and pick your launch month. Free and paid launch options are available. Stay active in the comments during your month, since engagement affects your ranking.

25. Peerlist

Peerlist is a professional network for developers, designers and builders with a weekly Launchpad for new products. Products compete for a full week instead of a single day, and top projects earn badges they can show on their sites. The audience is mostly technical, so developer tools and design tools do well.

How to get listed: Create a Peerlist profile, add your project and submit it to Launchpad for an upcoming week. Members upvote and comment during the week. Launching is free.

26. DevHunt

DevHunt is a launch site for developer tools, where the community votes on and comments on new projects. Its audience is developers, so APIs, CLIs, open-source libraries and dev platforms get the most attention. The site itself is open source and built by developers for developers.

How to get listed: Create an account, add your product with images and a short pitch, and pick a launch date. Free and premium launch options are available, with premium giving better placement. Your product page stays live after launch day.

28. Launching Next

Launching Next features new startups and side projects in a simple daily list. It is popular with first-time founders who want early users and a backlink. Each listing gets its own page with a description and a link to the product.

How to get listed: Fill out the submission form with your startup name, URL, description and category. Free listings wait in a queue, and a paid option publishes you faster. Make sure the product is live, since broken or parked sites are rejected.

29. SideProjectors

SideProjectors is a marketplace for side projects, where makers showcase, sell or find partners for their products. Buyers browse projects with revenue, traffic and tech stack details. It helps makers who want feedback on an early project or a buyer for one they no longer have time for.

How to get listed: Create a free account and add your project, marking it as for sale or showcase only. Include revenue, traffic and the reason you are selling if you list it for sale. Buyers contact you directly through the site.

30. AppSumo

AppSumo sells lifetime deals on software to a large email list of small business owners. Buyers leave public reviews with a five-taco rating on every deal page, and AppSumo also runs its own products such as TidyCal. A popular deal can bring thousands of users and hundreds of reviews in a few weeks.

How to get listed: Apply through the AppSumo partner page and choose between the self-serve marketplace and a curated deal. The revenue share is set per product. Plan for support load, since lifetime-deal buyers expect fast answers and leave public reviews.

31. Clutch

Clutch verifies reviews of agencies and service firms, often through phone interviews with clients. It is the main review site for B2B service providers such as development shops, marketing agencies and IT consultants. Its Leaders Matrix and city rankings drive many agency RFPs.

Its SmartScore rates tools on features and usability, and badges such as Premium Usability and Rising Star are shown on vendor sites.

33. StackShare

StackShare shows which tools engineering teams use, with public stack pages for companies such as Airbnb, Uber and Shopify. Developers add tools to their stacks, compare options and leave comments. It works well for dev tools, databases and infrastructure products.

How to get listed: Add your tool or claim its existing page for free. Ask customers to add your tool to their company stack, since adoption counts drive visibility. Write clear decision notes on why teams choose you over alternatives.

34. Hacker News (Show HN)

Hacker News (Show HN) lets makers share projects with a technical audience for free. A front-page Show HN post can bring thousands of visitors and detailed, blunt feedback in one day. Posts must be something people can try, not a landing page, signup wall or newsletter.

How to get listed: Post from a personal account with a title starting with ‘Show HN:’ and a link to the working product. Add a short comment explaining what you built and why. Never ask for upvotes, since voting rings get posts penalized.

Customer Review Platforms for Brands

These sites collect reviews from your real customers. You don’t send products to an editor. Instead, you invite buyers to rate you. Fake or paid reviews break their rules, and many also break FTC rules in the US.

35. Trustpilot

Trustpilot is one of the most visible review platforms in Google results, with company pages for brands such as Booking.com and Monzo. Anyone can review a business, invited or not, and the TrustScore is shown on search results and ads. Trustpilot flags companies that break its rules and warns readers on the profile.

How to get listed: Claim a free business account on Trustpilot Business and verify your domain. The free plan includes a limited number of review invitations, and paid plans add more invites, widgets and analytics. Do not offer rewards for reviews or invite only happy customers, since both break Trustpilot rules.

36. Sitejabber

Sitejabber collects reviews of online businesses and stores, with pages for sites such as Etsy, Temu and Shein. It is a Google review partner, so reviews can feed seller ratings in Google Ads. Shoppers often check it before buying from an unfamiliar store.

37. Yelp

Yelp is the main review site for local businesses in the US, from restaurants and salons to plumbers. Its recommendation software hides reviews it considers unreliable, including many from new or one-time reviewers. Yelp also ranks in Google for most local searches.

How to get listed: Claim your page for free on Yelp for Business and verify by phone or email. Yelp’s Don’t Ask for Reviews policy bans asking customers for reviews, so focus on service and a visible Yelp badge instead. Paid ads place you on competitor pages and search results.

38. Google Business Profile

Google Business Profile puts reviews on Google Search and Maps, which makes it the base of any local review plan. Ratings appear in the local pack, so they affect clicks and calls directly. Businesses of every size, from local cafes to national chains, rely on it.

39. REVIEWS.io

REVIEWS.io collects company and product reviews and shares them with Google as an official review partner. It is popular with ecommerce brands such as Jimmy’s Iced Coffee, Hunter & Gather and Giesswein. Several brands, including Jimmy’s Iced Coffee, moved to it from Trustpilot.

41. ConsumerAffairs

ConsumerAffairs publishes consumer reviews and buyer guides for US brands in industries such as mattresses, home warranties and moving. It earns money from Authorized Partners, which are marked with a blue check. The site says compensation may affect which partners are featured and in what order.

How to get listed: Claim a free basic account through the ‘Are you this business?’ button on your profile page or the contact form. Basic accounts let you respond to reviews and see reviews before they are published. Authorized Partners pay for review collection, reviewer contact data, featured reviews and placement in buyer guides.

42. Amazon Vine

Amazon Vine sends free FBA products to invited reviewers called Vine Voices, chosen for the quality of their past reviews. It helps new listings get their first honest reviews before launch. Enrolling 1 to 2 units costs $0, 3 to 10 units cost $75, and 11 to 30 units cost $200 per parent product in the US.

How to get listed: You need a Professional seller account, Brand Registry and an FBA offer with fewer than 30 reviews. Enroll up to 30 units in Seller Central, ideally three weeks before launch, so Voices can receive and test the product. You are charged only after the first Vine review appears, and not at all if none appears within 90 days.

43. Thingtesting

Thingtesting reviews direct-to-consumer brands and started as an Instagram account run by founder Jenny Gyllander. More than 1 million shoppers use it each month to research brands before they buy. Brand pages cover DTC companies such as Brandless, along with beauty, food and home brands.

45. Yotpo

46. Judge.me

Judge.me is a review app for online stores with a free plan, widely used on Shopify and also available for Wix, WooCommerce and BigCommerce. Clients include Popov Leather and Joker Greeting. Many small stores pick it because the paid plan has one flat price.

47. Okendo

Online shops such as Shop Apotheke, WoodWatch and AmbienteDirect display its badge. The trustmark tells shoppers the store passed an audit of its checkout, privacy and returns.

Gear Diary reviews almost every kind of gear and publishes both positive and negative reviews. Brands that have worked with it include Kensington, Skullcandy and Big Ass Fans. Each review states whether the product came from the maker or was bought by the writer.

How to get listed: Email first, and the team checks fit before forwarding your pitch to a writer. If approved, you get a shipping address, and reviews aim to run 2 to 8 weeks after arrival. Items are not returned unless agreed beforehand with a prepaid, tracked return label, and wearables, personal care items and storage drives are never returned.

58. Stark Insider

Stark Insider reviews audio gear, cameras, wearables, coffee gear, smart home devices and travel products. Recent reviews include the Amazon Kindle Scribe Colorsoft and the XTEINK X4 Pro eReader. It does not review software, apps, services or products that are not sold to consumers.

60. FutureFive

FutureFive is TechDay’s consumer tech site for Australia and New Zealand. It writes reviews of about 500 words with images, features and specs, and recent coverage includes the OPPO Find X10 Pro Max and Kensington VeriMark security key. It does not review enterprise products.

How to get listed: Email the TechDay review coordinator through the address in its review article, and ship the product to the Auckland office once logged. Supplied products have a much better chance of coverage than press releases alone. The review page is several years old, so confirm the current address before shipping.

61. Android Central

Android Central covers Android phones, wearables and apps. Recent reviews include the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE, OPPO Find X10 Pro Max, Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and POCO F9 Ultra. App developers can pitch through a dedicated app submission page.

How to get listed: Use the contact form with your email, the app name, a short description, a Google Play link and screenshots. Keep the pitch brief. Do not send a demo video showing the Android app running on an iPhone, since the editors reject those.

62. TouchArcade

TouchArcade covers iPhone and iPad games and is read closely by mobile gamers and developers. Recent reviews include Amanita Design’s Happy Game and several ACA NEOGEO arcade ports. It also runs a popular forum and podcast.

How to get listed: Email press releases, previews, screenshots, video links or a promo code to the press address on its About page, and one code is enough. Exclusive early content gets extra promotion at release. Coverage is not guaranteed, and the editors rarely email developers asking for codes, so treat such requests with caution.

63. Affgadgets

Affgadgets takes submissions for digital products such as tools, apps and platforms, despite its name. Every submission is approved by hand before it joins the review list. It welcomes tools across all categories.

How to get listed: Fill out the submit form with your name, company, email, subject and a message describing the product. No submission fee is listed. The site does not name past listings on its submission page, so check its product pages first to confirm your category is covered.

64. Improve Photography

Improve Photography reviews photography gear for its readers and podcast audience, and is selective about what it covers. Past reviews include the NiSi Natural Night Filter, Vanguard VEO monopod, Mindshift Gear Rotation 180 Horizon bag and Miggo Agua holster. It has also published critical reviews, such as one of a Gary Fong light modifier.

How to get listed: Email info AT improvephotography.com to discuss a review, or mail the product to its Caldwell, Idaho office. Press releases and canned emails get no reply. Products are not returned, may be given away to readers, and can end up as a full review, a Recommended Gear mention, a social post or nothing at all.

65. Cool Tools

Cool Tools is Kevin Kelly’s long-running site of reader-written reviews of useful tools, books and gear. Past picks include the Lamy 2000 fountain pen, Xtracycle cargo bike kit and Origin8 CargoUnit handlebar basket. Reviews come from real users, not brands.

How to get listed: Encourage happy customers to submit a review through the Cool Tools form under their own name, since anonymous reviews are not accepted. Reviews that run earn the writer $25 by PayPal about 30 days after publishing. Brands cannot buy a slot, so the product has to impress an actual user.

Outdoor and Survival Gear Sites That Test Products

Outdoor editors test gear in real conditions, often for months. Expect to send products for free with no return, and pitch before the season starts so gear can be tested when it matters.

66. Switchback Travel

Switchback Travel reviews outdoor clothing, footwear and equipment for hiking, camping, skiing and kayaking, plus travel gear. Recent reviews include the Rab Kinetic Alpine 2.0, Arc’teryx Beta LT, Patagonia Storm Shift and RovR RollR 45 cooler.

How to get listed: Read the gear review policy, then pitch through the contact page. Testers keep the gear unless you ask for it back, and reviews usually take several months. Gifted gear is disclosed at the top of each review, and links to your site are nofollow.

68. Backpacking Light

Backpacking Light publishes First Looks, Limited and long-term Performance reviews of lightweight backpacking gear. Recent reviews cover the Arc’teryx Proton LT Hoody, Enlightened Equipment Visp Rain Jacket and REI Flash Air 1 tent. A Highly Recommended rating needs unanimous agreement from the publisher, editor and reviewers.

How to get listed: Ship products to Backpacking Light, ATTN: Reviews, in Estes Park, Colorado. Unsolicited items are accepted but not tracked, and unreviewed products go to nonprofits, raffles or giveaways. Products are not returned and may be tested to destruction in the field or lab.

69. Ultimate Survival Tips

Ultimate Survival Tips reviews survival, everyday carry, emergency and prepping gear, mostly through detailed YouTube videos. It has reviewed knives such as the Gerber Bear Grylls Ultimate and also makes its own MSK-1 knives and Tiny Survival kits. It receives hundreds of items a year.

How to get listed: Read the review agreement, complete the submission form and sign it electronically. You get the shipping address on the confirmation page or by email, and anything shipped before signing is treated as unsolicited. Products are non-returnable, and adding a giveaway item can earn scheduling priority but not a guaranteed review.

Beauty and Skincare Blogs That Accept PR Samples

Beauty bloggers get far more samples than they can review. Most want full-size products, honest disclosure and no say from the brand on the final review.

71. Lab Muffin

Lab Muffin is a science-based beauty blog by chemistry PhD Michelle Wong, covering skincare, sunscreen, makeup and hair tools. Past reviews include La Roche-Posay, Paula’s Choice, Banana Boat and ghd. She only reviews products she has used and finds worth writing about.

Paid sponsored posts are labeled at the top and bottom and are chosen on scientific backing and reader interest.

72. Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog

Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog reviews skincare, makeup and haircare, and has covered brands such as pürminerals, Sun Bum, Mally and TAYA. It only accepts full-size products in retail packaging. Sachets and deluxe samples are turned down because they are too small for a fair review.

How to get listed: Email lolassecretbeautyblog@gmail.com and mention any launch dates up front. Skincare takes 4 to 6 weeks of testing, and reviews can take weeks to months. Brands cannot pre-approve reviews, and offers of discounts or wholesale pricing are deleted.

75. 15 Minute Beauty

15 Minute Beauty reviews skincare, haircare and makeup, with recent posts on Farmacy Honey Milk Essence, Aestura A-Cica 365 cream, AmLactin lotion and Atopalm. The writer accepts under 5% of sample offers. Most reviews cover products she liked or loved.

How to get listed: Pitch through the site’s contact page and explain why the product is new, hard to find or unreleased, since those get priority. Sponsored posts are rare and only for products that match her interests. Brands can guide the format but cannot change her opinion.

Parenting and Pet Sites That Review Products

Parenting and pet sites test products with real children and animals, so testing takes weeks. Some charge for guaranteed coverage, and one refuses samples completely.

76. Mommyhood101

Mommyhood101 tests baby gear hands-on, with reviews of products such as the Lalo 3-in-1 Potty, Delta Crave High Chair and Grownsy Rocking Bassinet. Products that fail its standards are not featured, and it does not publish negative reviews. Tested products may also appear in ‘Best Of’ roundups.

Foods must be sold nationwide in the US or Canada, with every recipe, Guaranteed Analysis and an AAFCO statement listed on your website in copy-and-paste text. Dog treats are not reviewed, and review timing depends on reader demand and the backlog.

Food, Coffee, Wine and Spirits Review Sites

Drinks writers usually want sealed bottles and full shipping paid. Check local alcohol shipping laws before you send anything.

80. The Nibble

The Nibble is a specialty food magazine edited by Karen Hochman, covering snacks, sweets, cheese and pantry products. Past features include Omnom Chocolate, Dean’s Sweets and Isabella’s Cookie Company. Perishable products get priority in tasting.

85. Modern Thirst

Modern Thirst covers bourbon, whiskey and other spirits, with reviews of brands such as 1792, Maker’s Mark, Woodford Reserve and O.H. Ingram River Aged. Samples do not guarantee a positive review, and every review notes when a sample was provided. It never accepts payment for a sponsored review.

How to get listed: Use the ‘I have a product review request’ option on the Get in Touch page, which also gives shipping details. Send high-resolution bottle images by email before the review, with product information. The team aims to review samples as quickly as possible but gives no fixed timeline.

86. Reverse Wine Snob

Reverse Wine Snob is Jon Thorsen’s blog about affordable wine, often from Costco’s Kirkland Signature range and Trader Joe’s. Wines up to about $25 are rated on the normal scale, while pricier bottles can appear in the Saturday Splurge series. Value scores use the lowest retail price, not the suggested price.

How to get listed: Email jon@reversewinesnob.com with ‘Sample For Review’ or ‘Priority Review’ in the subject line. The normal queue runs about 3 to 4 months, and a Priority Review option is faster. Avoid shipping in July and August, send tracking details, and two bottles per wine helps but is not required.

How to Pitch a Product for Review

1. Read the review policy first. Many sites only cover certain products, prices or regions.
2. Email before you ship. Most editors won’t review unsolicited products.
3. Keep the pitch short: what the product does, price, availability, photos and a link.
4. Offer a review unit, not payment. Paid reviews need clear disclosure, and many sites refuse them.
5. Expect no guarantee. Editors may skip your product or publish a mixed review.
6. Follow up once after two or three weeks, then move on.

Links from review sites also help SEO. Our guide to resource page link building shows other ways to earn mentions. Selling online? Our beauty ecommerce SEO statistics show how reviews affect buying decisions.

Rules to Follow When You Send Free Products

• Disclosure: In the US, the FTC requires reviewers to disclose free products and payments.
• No fake reviews: The FTC’s rule on fake reviews bans buying, selling or writing fake reviews.
• No review gating: Platforms like Google and Trustpilot ban asking only happy customers for reviews.
• Shipping rules: Alcohol, food and supplements may need permits to ship across borders.

Submission Guidelines Most Review Sites Expect

Every site on this list has its own policy, but the same requests come up again and again. Prepare these before you pitch, and you will answer most editors’ questions in the first email.

• A ready press kit: Have high-resolution photos, a short video, a spec sheet, price, availability and retailer links in one folder. Gadget Flow, for example, asks for 4 to 5 lifestyle images at 1600×900 pixels with no text overlays.
• The right channel: Software directories use vendor portals, blogs use email or a contact form, and some sites only take a signed agreement first. Nutty Hiker, for example, will not give a shipping address until you sign its review agreement.
• The subject line they ask for: Stark Insider wants “Product Review Submission” and Reverse Wine Snob wants “Sample For Review” or “Priority Review.” Editors filter their inbox by these phrases.
• Enough lead time: Foreword Reviews needs books four and a half months before publication, Gadget Flow wants 30 days, Halliday wants spirits 4 to 6 weeks before release, and Amazon recommends enrolling in Vine three weeks before launch.
• The right sample size: Mommyhood101 asks for two units, The Rum Howler wants a sealed 200 ml bottle, The Whiskey Wash needs at least 50 ml, and Midwest Book Review wants two printed copies.
• Clear return terms: If you need a unit back, say so before shipping and include a prepaid, tracked return label. GearBrain asks for RMA details, and Gear Diary only returns items when this is agreed in advance.
• Embargo and launch dates: State any embargo in the first email. GadgetMatch and Gear Diary both honor embargoes, but only when the date is shared before the product ships.
• Disclosure built in: Expect every reviewer to label your product as a sample or gift. In the US, the FTC requires it, and sites such as 99Boulders also nofollow links to gifted brands.

Mistakes That Get Review Pitches Ignored

Most rejected pitches fail for the same few reasons. Each mistake listed here is written into at least one review policy on this list.

• Shipping before anyone said yes: Techlomedia tells brands not to send anything without confirmation, and Nutty Hiker treats unsigned shipments as unsolicited. Unsolicited products often end up in giveaways or donations.
• Pitching the wrong category: FutureFive does not review enterprise products, Stark Insider does not review apps, and Dog Food Advisor does not review treats. Read the policy before you write the email.
• Sending trial sizes: Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog rejects sachets and deluxe samples, and The Rum Howler refuses 50 ml and 30 ml bottles. Small samples make a fair review impossible.
• Asking to approve the review: The Gadgeteer, Lola’s Secret Beauty Blog and TechDay do not share drafts or let brands sign off. Asking marks you as a brand that wants an ad, not a review.
• Offering money for a good review: Gear Diary, Modern Thirst and GadgetMatch all refuse paid reviews. In the US, the FTC rule on fake reviews also bans buying positive reviews.
• Mass-mailing press releases: Improve Photography does not reply to canned emails. A short, personal pitch that names a past review on the site works far better.
• Gaming platform rules: Asking for Product Hunt upvotes, posting a landing page to Show HN, asking for Yelp reviews or only inviting happy customers on Google or Trustpilot can get your listing penalized or flagged.
• Following up too often: Ultimate Survival Tips asks brands to limit follow-ups, since reviews run months out. One follow-up after a few weeks is enough.
• Expecting the product back: Backpacking Light, Switchback Travel and Nutty Hiker keep everything. If you cannot afford to lose a unit, pick sites that use loaners, such as GadgetMatch.

Common Concerns Before You Send a Product Out

Do product review sites charge a fee?

Most blogs on this list don’t charge for an editorial review, but some charge for extras. For example, Gadget Flow’s paid plans start at $2,499, and Kirkus Indie reviews start at $399.

Will I get my product back after a review?

Usually not. Sites such as Backpacking Light, Stark Insider and Ultimate Survival Tips keep review units. GadgetMatch is an exception and returns most loaners after 60 days.

How long does a product review take?

Expect anywhere from a week to six months. The Gadgeteer takes one to eight weeks, while Ultimate Survival Tips runs three to six months out.

Can I pay for a positive review?

No. Paying for a positive review breaks most site policies and FTC rules. Sponsored content is allowed only when it’s clearly labeled.
