What you get for $5
Dofollow backlink
A dofollow link from your listing page passes link authority to your domain. Others charge $29–$299 for this alone.
Instant launch
Skip the 4-week review queue. Go live the moment you submit. Featured placement at the top of the directory.
Newsletter + social
Get featured in our newsletter and a shoutout on X and LinkedIn. Other directories charge $149/send for this.
Analytics dashboard
Track plays, votes, likes, bookmarks, and comments. See how your listing performs with UTM-tagged outbound links.
Verified badge
A verified badge on your listing and card tells visitors your product is real and live. Builds trust instantly.
SEO distribution
Your listing appears on category pages, search results, related tools, and comparison pages. Structured data included.
Guaranteed indexing
We submit your listing to Google Search Console for fast indexing. Your page shows up in search results, not just our directory.
No graveyard
Your listing stays live as long as your product works. Dead competitors are automatically removed — you rise in the rankings.
FAQ
Is it really free to submit?
Yes. You can submit your tool for free. It gets reviewed and published in about 4 weeks. You get a permanent listing, public product page, and community upvotes — all free.
What do I get for $5/mo?
Everything: instant launch (skip the 4-week queue), dofollow backlink, featured placement, verified badge, newsletter feature, X/LinkedIn shoutout, analytics dashboard, UTM tracking, SEO distribution, and guaranteed Google indexing. Other directories charge $99–$1,499 for these same features.
How is this so much cheaper than other directories?
SaaSHub charges $99/mo for featured placement. BetaList charges $1,499 for a 1-week ad. LaunchLlama charges $99/mo. We bundle all the same features into $5/mo because we'd rather have 100x more founders using the platform than price most people out.
Is the $5 a subscription?
Yes, it's $5/month. You can cancel anytime. Your listing stays live forever even if you cancel — you just lose the premium features (featured placement, dofollow link, badge, etc.).
Can I submit multiple tools?
Yes! Each free submission gets its own listing. If you want multiple tools to have Pro features, you pay $5/mo per tool.
How do you prevent dead listings?
Every listing is monitored for liveness. Visitors can report dead links, and listings that are confirmed dead are automatically hidden from the directory. We show a 'Verified live' badge on active listings so you know they work.
What's the difference between the free and Pro link?
Free listings get a nofollow link (standard for directories). Pro listings get a dofollow backlink that passes link authority and boosts your domain rating — the #1 reason founders pay for directory listings.
