## Is Founder.best worth it?

Useful for indie SaaS founders who want a permanent product page and a followed link at a low price. The free lane works if you can wait about a month and add their badge, which turns the link from nofollow to dofollow. If time matters, the $9 Standard launch is a cheap way to skip the queue. Prepare a strong tagline and screenshots, and share the page during your launch week to compete for the weekly top three.

## Who should submit to Founder.best?

Suits indie hackers, solo founders and small SaaS or AI teams who want a launch week, a lasting page and a followed link for little or no money. It suits less well anyone who needs a large launch-day audience, cannot add a badge and will not pay, or wants a product listed this week for free.

## What you need before you submit

- An account and a founder profile
- Product URL, name and tagline of up to 80 characters
- Description of at least 120 characters
- Up to three categories, optional logo and up to five screenshots
- For the free lane: a week with free slots, from week 4 out
- For a followed link on the free lane: their badge on your site

## How to submit

1. Open the submit page and fetch your site details
2. Add categories, use cases, audience and pricing model
3. Add optional GitHub and X links
4. Pick a launch week and a plan
5. Free: add the badge, verify it and submit for admin review
6. Paid: pay and the launch goes live instantly

## Pros

- Followed link on paid plans, and on free once the badge is verified
- A week of homepage time rather than one day
- Permanent product page with structured data
- Low prices: $9 once for Standard
- Weekly top three get winner badges

## Cons

- Free launches only open from week 4 and need admin review
- The site says 15 free slots per week
- Free link is nofollow without the badge
- The free homepage slot is a basic listing, not a featured one

## Tips

- Book the free week early, since slots are limited
- Add the badge before your launch week so the link switches to dofollow
- Use Standard at $9 if you need a date within three weeks
- Ask users to upvote during your launch week, since only that week counts
- Post updates on the product page after launch
