- Submit at: https://proofswap.me/
- Type: community
- Free if you give proof first; plans from EUR 9/mo, dofollow link, time to list: Live after you give one proof; manual approval, DR 16
- For: SaaS, Startups, Developer tools
- Facts checked: 2026-11-13

## Is ProofSwap worth it?

Worth it for early indie products that need social proof and do not mind spending some time reviewing other products. The project page link was dofollow on every listing checked, and the site says the link becomes dofollow only after you give proof to one other founder; payment never buys it. The network is small: the site says 45 participant accounts and 99 verified exchanges. Give honest, specific proof to products you have actually tried.

## Who should submit to ProofSwap?

Suits indie founders and small SaaS or developer tool makers with an empty landing page who want testimonials and a followed link, and who are willing to try and review other founders' products. Does not suit teams that want a listing without doing anything in return, or larger companies looking for launch traffic.

## What you need before you submit

- A live product URL
- Sign in with X or an email magic link
- One proof given to another founder (tweet, testimonial, video review or feedback) to activate a free listing

## How to submit

1. Paste your app URL on the homepage
2. Sign in with X or email
3. Review and complete the drafted listing
4. Find a project to help and give it proof
5. Submit the proof link or text so the listing activates
6. Embed the testimonial widget on your site

## Pros

- Free core plan
- Dofollow project link once you have given proof
- Embeddable testimonial wall and widget
- Testimonials come from other founders who tried the product

## Cons

- Small network per the site's own numbers
- Free listings need you to give proof before going live
- Free widget shows a ProofSwap badge and up to 5 testimonials
- Free listings can be delisted for inactivity

## Tips

- Pick products you would genuinely use so your proof reads as real
- State clearly what proof you need when listing
- Use the widget on your pricing or signup page
- The EUR 7 launch week is optional; ranking and dofollow are not sold
