About
A launch platform for indie makers
IndieNeed is where indie makers, SaaS founders and AI builders launch new products, and where people come to find useful new tools.
Every day people ship remarkable products, and most of them never find the audience they deserve. IndieNeed exists to close that gap: a clean, fast place to launch a product, get real feedback, and be found by people who genuinely care about what’s new.
A product here is more than a single post — it’s a lasting home for its launches, reviews, team, and history. Rankings reflect genuine community interest, and reviews come from real experience. A list of other places to submit a product is on the startup directories page.
How IndieNeed works
- Free listing
- $0. Our team reviews it before it goes live on the launch date you pick. The website link is nofollow; a dofollow link costs $3.
- Paid launch
- A one-time payment from $15 to $120, not a subscription. It skips review, goes live on the date you choose, and adds featured placement, a premium badge and a dofollow website link.
- After launch
- The product page stays up with its votes, reviews, comments and updates. Daily and weekly leaderboards, winner badges and Product of the Month keep good products visible.
- Independence
- IndieNeed is run independently and is not affiliated with Product Hunt or the other directories it lists.
