## Is Indie.Deals worth it?

Worth it if you sell an indie app or SaaS and can offer a deal, since the site is built around offers and seasonal events like Black Friday. The product link was dofollow on every page checked. Standard at $19 is fair because you pay only after approval, but approval is not guaranteed. Pro at $49 skips the queue and adds 15 days of featured placement.

## Who should submit to Indie.Deals?

Suits indie makers with Mac, iOS, SaaS or developer products, especially those who can offer a discount to readers. Less useful for enterprise software or products with no consumer angle. Not free, so makers looking only for free backlinks should go elsewhere.
