Is MadeWithStack worth it?
Useful for SaaS, AI and developer products that can name their stack, since listings also appear on the Built with page of each tool. The free listing is nofollow and slow, 2 to 6 weeks. The $19 launch price ($29 later) buys a decision within 24 hours, a dofollow link the site promises, and 7 days in a labelled Promoted spot, refunded if rejected. Add a link back to cut the free queue to about 7 days.
Who should submit to MadeWithStack?
Suits founders and developers shipping SaaS, APIs, developer tools and AI agent products who can document their tech stack, such as Next.js, Supabase or Claude. Agent native products can also claim a spot in the Agent Directory. Not a fit for products whose URL is a docs page or blog post, minor AI features that want the agent label, or anyone who needs a followed link without paying.
