Free SoftwareApplication schema generator. Generate valid JSON-LD markup for SaaS, mobile apps, and web applications. Includes Offer + AggregateRating + featureList.
SoftwareApplication schema describes a piece of software — SaaS product, mobile app, or web tool — as a structured entity. It tells AI engines + Google: this is the app, here's its category, here's the operating system, here's the pricing, here's the rating, here are its main features. For SaaS brands, SoftwareApplication is the schema type that surfaces in "what tool does X" AI queries.
These are the minimum properties for a valid SoftwareApplication schema block. The generator marks each with a red asterisk in the form.
| Field | What goes here |
|---|---|
| name | Product / app name. |
| applicationCategory | Category from schema.org: BusinessApplication, DeveloperApplication, etc. |
| operatingSystem | Comma-separated OS list: "Web", "iOS", "Android", "Windows", etc. |
Optional fields add richness without breaking validation. The ones below have measurable impact on AI engine extraction.
| Field | Why add it |
|---|---|
| description | Short product description matching the page hero. |
| url | Canonical product page URL. |
| offers | Offer or array of Offers describing pricing tiers (price + priceCurrency + availability). |
| aggregateRating | AggregateRating with ratingValue + reviewCount (only if you have real reviews). |
| featureList | Array of feature strings or comma-separated string. |
| screenshot | ImageObject URLs of product screenshots. |
| softwareVersion | Current version string. |
| releaseNotes | URL to changelog or release notes page. |
AI visibility note
SoftwareApplication is what AI engines match against "best tool for X" queries. When a user asks ChatGPT "recommend a tool for AI visibility", the engine pattern-matches user intent against SoftwareApplication.applicationCategory + featureList + description. Pages without SoftwareApplication schema lose to pages with it for these query shapes, even at equivalent content quality.
Here's what a complete SoftwareApplication block looks like when generated from the tool. Copy and adapt to your data.

}SoftwareApplication is specific to software. Product is broader — physical goods, services, or software. For SaaS, SoftwareApplication carries more relevant fields (applicationCategory, operatingSystem, featureList). For ecommerce physical products, use Product. For software-as-a-service that's billed like a subscription, use SoftwareApplication with Offer.
Use MobileApplication for iOS/Android apps with App Store / Play Store presence — it lets you add the app's store URL. Use WebApplication for browser-based products. Use the base SoftwareApplication for products that span both.
No. Google's review-snippet policy explicitly prohibits aggregateRating without verifiable review data. Self-rating violations can trigger manual actions against the whole domain. Only emit aggregateRating once you have verified reviews from real customers with permission to use the data.
No. Use one SoftwareApplication with an array of Offer objects inside offers. Each Offer carries name (tier name) + price + priceCurrency + availability. This pattern is what Google + AI engines expect.
