## Is IndieTool worth it?

A solid pick if you can wait or spend a little. Listing links checked in November 2026 were dofollow, including one whose site carries the free badge. Free costs a badge and about a month of waiting; Starter skips both for a one-time fee. Standard adds a newsletter send and homepage spot, worth it only if indie makers are your buyers. Prices shown were Black Friday sale prices, so check before paying.

## Who should submit to IndieTool?

Suits indie hackers, small SaaS and AI tools that want a permanent followed link and a page among other indie launches. The site says it has 1,621+ newsletter subscribers, 1,510+ products listed and DR 51. Not a fit if you cannot place a badge and do not want to pay, or if you need traffic from non-technical buyers.

## What you need before you submit

- An account (Google sign-up available)
- A live product
- App name, URL, landing heading and sub-heading, creator name, one image and a category
- Free plan: the IndieTool badge on your site, linking back

## How to submit

1. Sign up at indietool.io/user/signup
2. Fill in the whole listing
3. Press Submit and choose Free, Starter or Standard in the plan dialog

## Pros

- Dofollow link on listings checked, free ones included
- Permanent listing page

## Tips
