What a StartupBase listing includes

StartupBase is a launch board. Launch and discovery platform where new products go live daily at 12:00 AM PST and keep a permanent listing. When we checked on November 2, 2026, the cost was: Free $0; Premium starts at $39 one-time; Outrank homepage board from $29 (pay what you want).

Free launches need the badge and wait about 4-5 weeks; Premium (from $39) needs no badge and gets a chosen date.

DR 75 (Ahrefs), as stated by StartupBase, checked 2026-11-02. That is the site's own figure, not one we measured, and a Domain Rating is not a promise of traffic or ranking.

Link type, and how we know

Link type on a free (or the only) listing: Not checked. We have not checked this, so we do not state it.

Conditions: Paid launches: a permanent dofollow link. The free launch's link type is not stated

The pages we opened on November 2, 2026:

A nofollow, sponsored or UGC link tells search engines not to count it as a vote; a plain (dofollow) link can be counted. Either way, a listing is worth more for the people who see it than for the link.

Who StartupBase suits

StartupBase suits daily launches with a free queue or paid fixed date. It covers Startup, SaaS, AI, and its audience is worldwide. Review time, as stated: Free: launches in ~4–5 weeks (queue); Premium: as early as tomorrow.

We have no visits from StartupBase in our own analytics since Aug 18, 2026. That says nothing about what it would send you.

What to prepare before you submit

Most directories ask for the same things. Have them ready and the form takes a few minutes. Read StartupBase's own rules on its site before submitting; they can change.
