Is IndiHunt worth it?
A low-effort free launch with a followed link to your site. Upvote counts on the board are in single digits, so expect a backlink and an indexed product page rather than a burst of users. Schedule a date, fill every field, and spend no more than half an hour on it. Skip the $1,199 advertising package unless you have proof the audience matches.
Who should submit to IndiHunt?
Suits indie makers, SaaS founders, AI tool builders and Indian startups who want a free listing with a followed link and do not mind a small audience. It does not suit teams looking for launch day traffic or feedback at scale, or anyone hoping to relaunch the same product later, since a product URL that already launched is refused.
