Submit your tool to Smol Top

Smol Top is a launch board for products by independent makers, a sibling of Smol Maker from DirEasy. Projects launch at 08:00 UTC on a chosen date, and the free lane needs the Smol Top badge on your site.

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

Is Smol Top worth it?

Same deal as Smol Maker with a separate badge: a cheap dofollow link if you verify the badge, nofollow plus a ref parameter if you do not. The free queue is up to 28 days. The pricing page says top 5 free launches of the week go into the newsletter. Expect modest traffic; use it as one of several small backlinks rather than a main launch.
