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

Is Smol Hunt worth it?

Worth it for indie makers who can add a badge. The free launch gives a followed link, checked in November 2026, and each day has only a few slots, so your product shows on the homepage list for its day. The free queue can be long, up to 30 days per the pricing page. Pay $9.90 only if the date matters. The upsells such as DR Booster and SEO articles are separate services and not needed for the launch.

Who should submit to Smol Hunt?

Suits solo founders and small teams launching SaaS, AI tools, developer tools and side projects who want a followed link and a day on a small homepage. It does not suit sites with a Domain Rating under 5, which the free plan excludes, anyone who cannot add a badge, or teams looking for large launch day traffic.
