Submit your tool to Startup Listing

Startup Listing is a directory of SaaS tools, side projects and startups from indie makers. A one-time $4 fee puts a product live with a followed link, and featured days cost $3 each.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link $4 once, featured from $3 a day

Is Startup Listing worth it?

Cheap and quick: $4 for a permanent page with a followed link, live on payment. Traffic is likely modest given the size of the directory, so treat it as a low-cost backlink and a small discovery channel. Fill out the tagline, description and tags well, and only buy featured days to back up a launch or announcement.

Who should submit to Startup Listing?

Suits indie makers, solo founders and small teams with SaaS, tools or side projects who want a low-cost dofollow listing. Less useful for enterprise products or anyone expecting a large launch-day audience.
