Is Puthusu worth it?
Hard to recommend right now. The setup is fair on paper: free, a launch date of your choice, and a badge swap for a followed link. But in November 2026 the homepage showed 0 products, the products page and winners archive failed to load, and the sitemap was empty, so no listing could be checked. Try it only if it costs you 10 minutes, and confirm your listing page loads and links out before you leave the badge up.
Who should submit to Puthusu?
Suits indie makers and small SaaS, AI and developer tool teams who collect free launch listings and do not mind placing a badge. It does not suit anyone expecting traffic or upvotes from an active crowd, since no launches were visible on the board, or anyone unwilling to keep a third party badge on their site.
