Is starthub.zip worth it?

A fair free dofollow link if you are fine adding a text link to starthub.zip on your site. Review is quick and the form is simple. Do not expect traffic: the feed mixes software with unrelated businesses such as a construction contractor and coupon pages, so it reads as a link directory more than a place founders browse. The $8 Pro plan drops the backlink requirement and lists you at once, which is cheap if you do not want a reciprocal link.
