How to submit to startuups
Open the startuups submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Create an account
startuups asks you to sign up before you can submit.
Have your assets ready
Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.
Fill in the form carefully
Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse startuups (Indie makers, SaaS founders and early adopters), not for search engines.
Wait, then check
We couldn’t confirm how listings are reviewed. Once yours is live, check the details and that the link points to the right page.
Tips for startuups
- All launches happen Monday at 8:00 AM UTC; free launches can be scheduled up to 4 weeks ahead.
- Free launches require a quick community step (visiting 5 of 10 startups); Premium skips it.
- At $5, Premium is a cheap way to guarantee the dofollow link without a badge.
From startuups’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 startuups worth it?
Depends on the listing
startuups 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: 28 (low). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
- 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.
