## Is Startup Buffer worth it?

A reasonable free submission for most software products. Profiles link to the product with a plain rel=noopener, so the link is followed, and no badge is asked for. The free route has no stated review time, and the paid Publish package mainly buys a faster place in the queue. Write a real description of several sentences, add a country and tags so the profile appears on market and location pages, and keep the edit link email.

## Who should submit to Startup Buffer?

Suits SaaS, AI and other startups that want a permanent followed profile without creating an account or adding a badge. Fits founders who care about market and location pages, such as local B2B tools. Less useful for anyone who needs fast, predictable approval without paying, or who wants launch day traffic and votes.

## What you need before you submit

- Startup name and live website URL
- A business email that receives the private edit link
- One-sentence pitch
- Description of at least three or four sentences
- One screenshot (PNG, JPG, WebP, GIF or HEIC, up to 15MB)

## How to submit

1. Open the submit page and enter name, URL and business email
2. Write the pitch and description and upload a screenshot
3. Optionally add country, city, category, up to 8 tags, a video and social links
4. Submit and ignore the promotion page unless you want a paid package
5. Wait for review, then use the emailed edit link for changes

## Pros

- No account and no badge needed
- Followed link on profile pages
- Profiles show up on market, tag and location pages
- Long-running site

## Cons

- No published review time for free submissions
- Submitting lands on a paid promotion page
- Editing depends on the emailed private link
- Site blocks most non-browser requests

## Tips

- Use an email address you check, since it is the only way back into the listing
- Fill country and city so the profile reaches location pages
- Pick tags that match the market pages
- Skip paid packages unless you need faster review or homepage time
