## Is CodeTrendy worth it?

Worth it only if you pay. In November 2026 the free listings checked carried rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" and a public Unverified label, while paid listings carried rel="noopener noreferrer", a followed link. So the free lane costs a homepage badge for a nofollow link. If you want the link, Starter at $19 once is the sensible plan: instant, permanent, no badge. Pick one exact category and write a specific tagline, since paid listings sort above free ones.

## Who should submit to CodeTrendy?

Suits founders of SaaS tools, indie apps and small startups who want a permanent listing and are fine paying $19 for a followed link. Less useful for anyone who will only use the free lane, because that lane asks for a homepage badge, a wait of a week or more and returns a nofollow link with an Unverified stamp. Traffic numbers are self-reported, so treat it as a link and a small discovery source, not a launch event.

## What you need before you submit

- A free account (email, Google, GitHub or similar)
- Your website URL, name, tagline, category and description
- A logo and a screenshot
- For the free lane: the CodeTrendy badge on the page you submit
- Pass an automated content check and possible manual review

## How to submit

1. Open codetrendy.com/submit and paste your website URL
2. Create a free account or log in
3. Check the details the site fills in from your page and add a screenshot
4. Choose Free, Starter ($19), Premium ($39) or Exclusive ($99)
5. For free: add the badge to your homepage and wait at least 7 days
6. For paid: pay once and the listing goes live immediately

## Pros

- Paid listings get a followed link to your site
- One-time payment, the site says listings are permanent
- Starter adds up to 3 extra links to pages you choose
- No badge needed on any paid plan
- Listings are sorted by category and tech stack

## Cons

- Free listings get a nofollow link, checked November 2026
- Free listings are publicly labeled Unverified
- Free lane needs a homepage badge and a wait of 7 days or more
- Competitor listings appear on free listing pages
- Traffic figures are the site's own claims

## Tips

- If you want the link, skip the free lane and pay for Starter
- Run the AI fill, then rewrite the description in your own words
- Use the extra links on paid plans for a docs page or pricing page
- The badge snippet the site gives links back with rel="nofollow", so it does not pass value to CodeTrendy either way
