Tips for Startup Fast
- Free launches only get a dofollow link if you place top 3 for the day or display the Startup Fast badge.
- Only 5 free slots open per day, so the free queue can stretch weeks out; Premium has 12 daily slots.
- They publish an agent skill (npx skills add https://github.com/zreren/startupfast-publish) if you want your coding agent to prepare the submission.
From Startup Fast’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.
What to prepare
The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for product launch platforms.
- Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
- A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
- Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
- 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
- The exact page you want the link to point to
- Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
- A chosen launch date, with time blocked to reply to comments
- A maker comment: why you built it and what feedback you want
- Gallery images or a short demo video
- An optional launch-day offer for that platform’s users
Is Startup Fast worth it?
Depends on the listing
Startup Fast uses followed links on some listings and not others. Read the evidence above and check which kind your listing gets before you pay for anything.
- Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 73 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #877,683: a smaller site, near the end of the top 1 million.
- There’s a free option. Start free and only pay for upgrades if the traffic justifies it.
This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
