# Builtbyindies vs Ftify

> Builtbyindies is the better fit for makers who want a timed launch week, feedback from fellow builders and a buildlog for updates. Paid plans start at $9 one-time. Ftify is the better fit for a quick listing of a web product or an iOS or Android app, with Fast-track at $5 for going live within 12 hours and a free option that needs its badge.

Builtbyindies and Ftify both help indie makers get a new product in front of people, and both offer a free listing. They differ in how a product gets seen.

Builtbyindies runs weekly cohorts from Monday to Sunday, UTC. The top three products by upvotes earn a Product of the Week badge and a dofollow link. Ftify is a directory for SaaS products and mobile apps. Paste a link and it fills in the details, and votes decide the ranking.

## Who Builtbyindies is for

Solo founders and small teams who have a product to show and want early users, feedback from other makers and a backlink. It suits people comfortable with a community of fellow builders as the audience. Teams after a large mainstream audience may find the cohorts small by design.

## Who Ftify is for

Indie makers and small teams launching a SaaS product or a mobile app. Also useful for people looking for new independent apps and tools to try. Not for anyone who wants to buy a higher organic rank or upvotes.
