Is StartupTile worth it?
A cheap followed link for $1.99, so it is reasonable as one of many small listings. Do not expect traffic from the standard tile: it sits among dozens of aggregated launches on a single day and then moves to the archive. The featured slots at the top of every page are the only placement with ongoing visibility, and $19 for 7 days is a fair test if you want to measure clicks.
Who should submit to StartupTile?
Suits indie makers and small SaaS teams who want a low cost listing and a followed link without making an account. Not for anyone looking for votes, comments or a launch day community, since the feed has no voting or discussion, and not for makers who only want free options.
