Submit your tool to ShipThing

ShipThing is a daily launch board built on the DirEasy boilerplate. Products go live at 8:00 UTC, collect upvotes and comments, and keep a permanent project page with categories, tech stack and pricing model.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free with a badge, or $9.90 per launch

Is ShipThing worth it?

Worth a free submission if a badge on your site is acceptable, since the site says verified free launches get a dofollow link. The free queue is long (the pricing page says up to 84 days), so schedule early. The $9.90 Premium launch is cheap if timing matters. Skip the DR Booster and SEO packages unless you have checked what those network sites actually send. Traffic from the board itself is likely small; treat it as a backlink and a small listing, not a launch event.

Who should submit to ShipThing?

Suits indie makers, SaaS founders and AI tool builders who want a cheap dofollow link and do not mind a badge. Less useful for teams wanting real users or press, and for anyone unwilling to put a third-party badge on their site. Consumer products and non-software sites are listed too, so the audience is broad rather than developer focused.

What you need before you submit

  • A live website with Ahrefs DR of at least 1
  • ShipThing badge on your site, verified (free lane)
  • Square logo and a 16:9 product image
  • Google, GitHub or email account

How to submit to ShipThing

  1. Sign in with Google, GitHub or email
  2. Add name, URL, short description, logo and product image
  3. Pick up to three categories, tech stack, platforms and pricing model
  4. Choose Free (badge) or Premium launch and a launch date
  5. Add and verify the badge if launching free
