Questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Following releases is free, and so is listing a product. Nothing is for sale today, and if paid placements ever appear they will always be labelled.

Who can list a product?

Independent developers and small teams: solo makers, tiny studios, open-source projects and side projects that grew up. Soonbell doesn't list products from large companies. The indie-only policy has the details.

How are listings checked?

A person reviews every listing before it appears. Some products are added from public sources such as app store pages, and their makers are invited to claim them. Anyone can ask for a listing to be removed.

What does Soonbell keep about me?

If you follow a release, your email address and what you follow. A maker sees your email only if you tick the box to share it; otherwise they see a follower count. There are no advertising or tracking cookies. The privacy policy has the details.
