The airdrop summary pages are very basic with short information about airdrops, as well as the links to white paper and project’s social media. The most prominent is the tutorial on how to obtain free tokens, with links to airdrop forms and social media channels to fulfill the tasks.

The layout is not visually appealing, and the project information is rather scarce. You need to manually fill every task required and decipher how many tokens each task will provide.

5. Airdropster.io

Airdropster.io main page.

Website Status

Airdropster.iodomain is circa 10months old which coincides with their online activity that began in January 2018. Despite an extended active presence online and a nice airdrop directory design, Airdropster seems less popular among the airdrop hunters with the traffic of around 400 visitors a month.

Experience & Functionality

Once you click on the airdrop, you notice that the information about each airdrop is scarce, limited to a short brief.

The most important details about the tokens are mentioned in a solid block of text instead of a skimmable table. That dramatically lowers the user experience on the site and the overall functionality of the airdrop directory.

You get links to the airdrop forms and bounty site, but no direct access to the white paper, project website, etc. Those you have to find yourself which will increase the time you spend researching each airdrop.

Airdrop Rating

Airdropster has a project star rating system, but it’s unclear how the team rates their projects. There are also discrepancies between their ratings and the ratings on the popular ICO rating sites for same airdrops.

Airdrop Social Media Alerts

Airdropster promotes their airdrops mainly via Twitter and Telegram.

Airdropster Summary

Pros: Airdropster provides a good list of the recent airdrops, and a fairly popular twitter based airdrop alert.

Cons: The information about airdrops is minimal. The directory doesn’t let you fill the tasks quickly.
