AlternativeTo excels at showing you options, however it doesn't really tell you why one option is better/worse than another. It lists options by the number of likes it has received, but to directly compare the options is relatively hard to do.
Con Only for closed beta
If your startup has a public registration page, you cannot submit your startup there.
Con On the decline
According to Alexa, BetaList has dropped from its about 35 thousandth place worldwide in January of 2016 to about 60 thousandth place in January 2017.
Con You'll have to wait 2 months to get published unless you pay
Products that qualify and wish to get published for free have to wait about two months in queue.
