Is CurlShip worth it?
Worth the 20 seconds it takes. The free listing is live instantly but its link is nofollow until the hourly check finds a link to curlship.com on your site. Paying $1 a month, or $30 once for Bronze Lifetime, makes it dofollow with no badge. Ranking is by tier, so a free listing sits low among 10,000+ products. Fix your title and meta description first, since the listing copies them.
Who should submit to CurlShip?
Suits indie makers, SaaS founders and developers, including those who submit with scripts or AI agents. Less useful for anyone wanting real visitors: listings are sorted by tier, the catalog is large, and most visitors are other makers. Link aggregators and social profiles are rejected.
What you need before you submit
- A live product URL on its own root domain (one listing per root domain)
- An email address
- Good title and meta description on your page
- Not a link aggregator, social profile or blocklisted domain
How to submit to CurlShip
- POST https://curlship.com/api/submit with url and email, or use the homepage form
- The listing goes live and the response returns its page and badge code
- Add a link to curlship.com for dofollow, or pick a paid tier
- Call /api/verify-badge to check the badge at once instead of waiting for the hourly check
