# Submit your tool to JunkStartups

> A free startup directory and launch board for indie makers, with upvotes, comments, categories and a leaderboard. Submission is a three step form: the essentials, optional details, then an account.

- Website: https://junkstartups.com
- Submit at: https://junkstartups.com/submit
- Type: launch platform
- Free, dofollow link, time to list: Not published; terms say listings may be reviewed, DR 25
- For: Startups, SaaS, AI tools
- Facts checked: 2026-11-13

## Is JunkStartups worth it?

Worth the few minutes. Listing is free, no badge is asked for, and the Website link on listing pages carries rel noopener noreferrer with no nofollow, so it is dofollow. The site says it holds 14,446 startups, so a listing will not stand out on its own; fill in screenshots and a full description, and share the page to collect a few upvotes.

## Who should submit to JunkStartups?

Suits indie makers, side projects and early stage SaaS that want a free dofollow listing and some feedback from other builders. It does not suit products that need a targeted buyer audience, since most visitors are other makers.

## What you need before you submit

- Website URL, startup name and a tagline of up to 80 characters
- Up to 3 categories and a pricing model
- An account, created in the third step

## How to submit

1. Open junkstartups.com/submit
2. Enter URL, name, tagline, categories and pricing model
3. Add a logo, description, screenshots and tech stack in the second step
4. Create an account to finish
5. Share the listing page to collect upvotes

## Pros

- Free, with no paid tier needed for a listing
- Dofollow link to your site
- No badge required
- Live preview and completeness meter in the form

## Cons

- Large volume of listings, so each gets little attention
- Audience is mostly other makers
- Review timing is not published

## Tips

- Fill the optional step fully to raise the completeness score
- Keep the tagline under 80 characters and specific
- Ask users to upvote or comment after launch
