## Is Startups.fm worth it?

A fair buy if you want one clean dofollow link and a listing page at a fixed, low price. Paid listings carry a followed link, while the large companies the site added itself are nofollow, so you are paying for the link. Do not expect much referral traffic. Check every field the form scrapes from your site before paying, since that text is what the reviewer and visitors see.

## Who should submit to Startups.fm?

Suits bootstrapped and funded startups, SaaS, AI, devtools and fintech products that want a quick paid backlink without making an account. Not for anyone looking for free listings, a launch-day audience or upvotes.
