## Is LeanVibe worth it?

A good free option for side projects, hackathon builds and early tools that do not charge yet. The website link is dofollow and there is no badge or paid tier. It is not for SaaS that already takes payments, unless you offer a members-only coupon that gives at least 7 days of full access. Prepare a real icon and at least 2 genuine screenshots, and answer comments in your product forum, since feedback is the main draw. When you start charging, graduate the listing yourself rather than waiting for moderators.

## Who should submit to LeanVibe?

Suits indie makers, vibe coders, students and open-source builders with a live, usable product that is free today, including free AI agents and tools that ask users for their own API key. It does not suit paid products, subscriptions, free trials that need a card, ad-supported sites, agencies, landing pages without a working product, or standalone libraries and npm packages.
