Is Resource.fyi worth it?
Good for visibility among developers and designers, not for link value: product links carry ugc on every plan, and nofollow as well on free and Express listings. Submit free and pick a date 7 days out when you can share it, since points come from visitors, upvotes and domain rating. Premium at $49 buys 7 promoted days and a newsletter mention, which makes sense only if that exposure matters to you.
Who should submit to Resource.fyi?
Suits makers of software, SaaS, AI tools, developer tools and design resources who want a curated listing and some launch exposure. Not a fit for agencies, freelancers or other services, which are not accepted, or for anyone listing mainly for followed links.
