## Is Startup Vessel worth it?

A reasonable free link if you are fine with a badge. Several listing pages checked had a followed Visit link, though some were nofollow, which suggests the follow depends on the badge staying live. Traffic will be small. Submit it in the same sweep as similar directories, keep the badge on the page you verified, and check your listing rel after approval.

## Who should submit to Startup Vessel?

Suits early-stage SaaS and tool makers who want a free followed link and accept a reciprocal badge. Not for founders who refuse badges, products whose site blocks crawlers, or anyone expecting buyers from the listing.
