Startup directory tools

These five tools are startup directories where makers list new products and the community votes. They differ in launch rhythm and in what a paid option buys.

Product Hunt runs a daily ranking and is free to launch on. LaunchKoala releases products weekly on Mondays, and its $9 Launch sooner option lets the maker pick the week. Ftify focuses on indie SaaS and mobile apps, ranks by votes rather than money, and sells a $5 fast-track that gets a listing live within 12 hours.
