Why founders submit to DEV Community

Its old Listings classifieds section has been removed; products are now shared as regular posts, typically tagged #showdev.

Pricing as DEV Community states it: Posting articles is free with a DEV account. No paid listing product exists since Listings was removed.

When we checked live listings, outbound product links were followed (dofollow). Ahrefs Domain Rating was 91 as of August 2026. It suits SaaS, AI, and startup teams when developer-facing products can publish a listing or launch article.
