How types work

An app can have several types. Web, mobile and desktop come from the platforms on its listing and open source from its pricing model; SaaS, browser extension, API and command-line types are set by the maker, or suggested by AppFinder from the listing and its website until the maker sets them. Payment never adds or removes a type.

Web apps
Its listing names Web as a platform.
Mobile apps
Its listing names iOS or Android as a platform.
Desktop apps
Its listing names macOS, Windows or Linux as a platform.
SaaS
Hosted software for work, used online and sold on a recurring plan (a free plan counts). The maker sets it; until then AppFinder suggests it when the listing runs on the web, has paid plans and is made for work (its category, or wording such as teams, businesses or per-user prices).
Open source
Its pricing model is Open source (the source code is public, even when a hosted version is paid).
Browser extensions
The maker marks it as a browser extension, or its listing or website offers one (a browser store link, “Add to Chrome”).
APIs & developer platforms
The maker marks it as an API or developer platform, or its listing presents it as one (an API, an SDK, hosting or a backend for developers).
Command-line tools
The maker marks it as a command-line tool, or its listing describes a CLI or a terminal.

Each list is ranked by relevance, and payment never changes that order.
