Submit your tool to IndieHub

IndieHub is a product and tool directory for indie makers, built on the Mkdirs template. You sign in, fill a listing form, pick a paid plan, and the listing can go live right away on a date you choose.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link $4.90 or $9.90 once, sponsor $19.90 a week

Is IndieHub worth it?

Worth it if you want a cheap, permanent dofollow link and do not mind that it is a paid-only directory. At $4.90 the Basic plan is one of the cheaper dofollow listings around, with no backlink required. Expect little direct traffic: the value is mostly the link and a small extra presence in search. Write a full Markdown introduction, because the listing page is mostly your own text, and use images under 1MB.

Who should submit to IndieHub?

Suits indie makers, SaaS founders, developer tool and AI product makers who want an inexpensive permanent backlink. Not a fit for anyone looking for a free listing (the pricing page shows no free plan) or for real launch day traffic and feedback, since there is no voting or community around listings.

  • An account (Google, GitHub or email)
  • Product link, name, categories and tags
  • Short description and a Markdown introduction
  • A 1:1 icon and a 16:9 image, each under 1MB

How to submit to IndieHub

  1. Sign in at indiehub.best
  2. Open the submit page and fill in the product details
  3. Upload the icon and the 16:9 image
  4. Pick Basic, Pro or Sponsor and pay
  5. Publish now or pick a later publish date
