Why founders submit to DevHunt

A new batch launches on the home page each week, and developers vote, signing in with GitHub or Google. Developers browse it for new dev tools, and it sends a weekly Tuesday newsletter.

Pricing as DevHunt states it: Listing a tool is free (permanent page with a nofollow link). Launch $19 once: pick your launch week, newsletter spot, permanent dofollow link. Boosted launch $49: listed above other launches on equal votes, higher in the weekly email, its own post on X. Separate ad slots from $149/week.

When we checked live listings, outbound product links were nofollow. Ahrefs Domain Rating was 52 as of August 2026. It suits SaaS, AI, and startup teams when developer tools want a weekly hunter-style board.

Before you submit to DevHunt

  • It is for dev tools only. Products that aren't for developers are rejected.
  • A free listing gets a page but a nofollow link. You need the $19 launch for a dofollow link and a chosen launch week.
  • Launches run for a whole week, not a day, so plan promotion across the full week.
