Good software shouldn't need a marketing
budget to be discovered.
Anyone can build software now — getting it found is the hard part. Google and AI models both point at whatever's already popular. AppClap matches on fit instead: you get the tool that solves your problem, and the person who made it finally gets found — not the one with the biggest marketing budget.
Who we are
Two brothers, Markiian and Ostap, committed to rebuilding how software gets found.
What we're aiming for
The tool that answers your ask goes first — a $5 one beats a $30 one you've heard of.
Answers, not lists
A verdict on whether a tool fits your ask — including when it doesn't.
True today
Pricing and features are checked against the product itself, with the date we last looked.
Readable by agents
The same catalog your LLM can query over MCP while it works alongside you.
How it started
Two problems that turned out to be one
One of us shipped a mobile app and needed a cheap tool for the App Store screenshots. The AI we asked gave us a confident list — half the apps were dead, and the rest had pricing from years ago.
Then came the harder part: getting the app itself found. Distribution meant filming TikToks and hoping an algorithm noticed. Why fight for the attention of people scrolling, when there are people actively searching for exactly the thing you made?
Markiian Lebiak
Product & Engineering
Shapes what AppClap feels like — the semantic search that reads your intent, and the interface that gets out of your way.
Ostap Lebiak
Engineering & Data
Keeps the catalog honest — the crawling, the freshness, and the plumbing that lets an LLM query AppClap over MCP.
Where we're going
The roadmap, in the open
Discovery, product pages, and MCP
Semantic search over plain-language asks, and product pages built from the live site. The MCP server has been there from day one — your LLM queries the same catalog you do.
The Builders Portal
A home for the people who make the software: claim your listing, keep pricing and features accurate, and see how builders arrive at your product.
Checked, not just listed
A real product test before an app can appear: does it load, does it work, does it do what the page claims. Anyone can publish software now — the hard part is telling the good from the abandoned.
Beyond web apps
Whether a tool works with the software you already use, what it takes to switch from one to another, and mobile and desktop apps alongside the web ones.
