## Is LaunchPact Startup Directory worth it?

A good option if you accept a badge on your homepage. Free and paid listings checked in November 2026 both had a Visit link with rel noopener noreferrer and no nofollow, so the link is followed either way; paid bids only change rank. The sidebar ads are nofollow. The directory is small (the site showed 95 startups), so treat it as a followed link plus a founder community, not a big traffic source.

## Who should submit to LaunchPact Startup Directory?

Suits indie founders and small SaaS, AI and developer tool teams on their own domain who are fine with a reciprocal badge or a small bid. It does not suit products hosted on free subdomains like vercel.app or netlify.app, which are refused, or anyone unwilling to place a dofollow badge back to launchpact.io/startups.

## What you need before you submit

- Your own domain (no vercel.app, netlify.app or similar)
- A working website, thumbnail, category, and description of at least 80 characters
- One listing per domain
- Free path: the official LaunchPact badge on your homepage, linking dofollow to launchpact.io/startups
- Paid path: a bid from $15 in $5 steps

## How to submit

1. Open launchpact.io/startups/submit and paste your URL
2. Let the scan draft the name, tagline, description and category
3. Sign in when asked and review the draft
4. Add the badge to your homepage and verify, or choose a bid
5. The listing goes live once the check passes or payment clears

## Pros

- Followed link on both free and paid listings
- No review queue
- Listing is drafted from your site
- Listings can be edited later

## Cons

- Free path needs a dofollow badge on your homepage
- Small directory, 95 startups shown in November 2026
- Rank is bought, not earned by votes
- An account is needed to finish

## Tips

- If you take the free path, keep the badge in place; the listing depends on the homepage check
- Only bid if a top rank matters to you; the link is the same at $0
- Edit the AI drafted description before publishing so it reads like your own copy
