Submit to Startup Fame

Free listing in exchange for a badge on your homepage.

What you are getting

Some links pass, some do not

Which one you get depends on the tier, the page, or how the listing performs, so the advertised claim and the live page are worth comparing before you pay for either.

What we read

Every line was read off Startup Fame’s own pages on 2026-08-07, not copied from a list. Prices move; check before you pay.

Cost: Free on the "Verified" plan. Highlight is $19/month and Spotlight is $149/month.
Link type: Mixed
What the link is: Mixed, and the site's own claim is only half right. Read off two live listing pages on 2026-08-09: the main link to the product is do-follow, while further links to the same domain on the page carry rel="ugc". It advertises 10+ do-follow backlinks — its own figure, unverified.
Badge or backlink: Required for at least one tier.
Getting listed: The free plan requires their "Featured" badge on your homepage and is "Reviewed & published within 7 days". Paid plans publish in under 30 seconds.
Who it is for: Startups and SaaS.
Last checked: 2026-08-07
