Why founders submit to Tiny Startups

Every listing is hand-approved.

Pricing as Tiny Startups states it: A free listing route exists ('submit for free and verify on the next screen' with a post), but the live /submit page currently renders with freePaused=true, which forces the 'Instant listing + DR 71+ do-follow backlink' upgrade (£69: 'Your free listing skips the queue, launches this week, and its backlink switches to do-follow'). Other upgrades: SEO Optimised Review £99, Launch video £99, Top Picks 30 days £99, Newsletter Feature £149, 4x DR 20-60 partner backlinks £199, press releases £249/£399/£899, newsletter sponsorship £300, directory packs £199 (50) or £249 (100+). Separate: List a Tool £69, Submit a Deal £69. Prices come from the live submit-form bundle. Review and timing: Paid instant listing goes live this week; free route timing not stated.

When we checked live listings, outbound product links were nofollow. Ahrefs Domain Rating was 70 as of August 2026. It suits SaaS, AI, and startup teams when founders will pay for a small launch-day board.
