## Is Starter Best worth it?

Useful only as one more followed backlink, since the main listing link was dofollow in the check. Many listings are other directories and launch tools, so expect almost no customer traffic. If you submit to Days Launch, submit here with the same assets, and pay the $9.9 Pro fee if you would rather not keep two badges.

## Who should submit to Starter Best?

Suits indie makers and SaaS founders working through a list of small directories for backlinks. Not a place to find users, and not a fit for anyone who does not want to keep a badge on their site. Product teams seeking real launch traffic should spend time elsewhere.

## What you need before you submit

- An account (Google, GitHub or email)
- A square icon and a 16:9 image, each under 1MB
- For the free plan, a link or badge to the site kept on your website

## How to submit

1. Sign in and open Submit
2. Add link, name, categories, tags, a short description and an introduction
3. Upload the icon and the image
4. Choose the free plan, add the badge to your site and verify it, or pay for Pro
5. Wait for review, then pick a publish date

## Pros

- Main website link had no rel attribute in the check, so it is dofollow
- Free option exists
- Pro is a low one time price
- You choose the publish date

## Cons

- Free plan needs a permanent backlink to the site
- Only 5 free listings reviewed a day
- Many listings are other directories
- No support on the free plan

## Tips

- Submit to Days Launch at the same time, the process is the same
- Pay for Pro if badge upkeep bothers you
- Rewrite your description a little for each sibling site
- Keep the backlink live after approval
