Which one to use

Pick BetaList while you are still pre-launch and want early-access signups for a startup that isn't public yet.

Pick IndieNeed once people can use your product: you get a launch date, community upvotes, a daily and weekly leaderboard, and a product page with reviews.

You don't have to pick one. Many makers list on several sites; a listing on IndieNeed is free and doesn't stop you launching anywhere else.
