Submit your tool to Stratup.ai

An AI startup idea generator that also runs a small directory of tools for founders. You pay $30 for a permanent listing and enter the tool details after payment, with optional paid featuring.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link $30 once, featured add-ons $30 or $45

Is Stratup.ai worth it?

A small, low traffic directory; the tool page lists about 108 tools, many added in 2023. The followed link is real but the pages render with JavaScript, so it is weaker than a plain HTML link. At $30 it is a minor backlink for startup or AI tools, not a traffic source. Skip the featured add-ons unless you have budget to spare.

Who should submit to Stratup.ai?

Suits makers of tools for founders and early stage startups, such as AI, productivity, marketing or billing software, who want a cheap permanent listing. It does not suit anyone with no budget, or products outside the startup tool niche, which the site says it may reject and refund.

  • Tool details entered after payment
