# Tiny Startups

> The discovery and launch platform for indie makers, solopreneurs, and early-stage startups. Founders submit their products, the community upvotes them, and the best rise to the top.

## What is Tiny Startups?

Tiny Startups (tinystartups.com) is a free startup launch platform, startup directory, and Product Hunt alternative built for founders and indie hackers. Launches compete on a weekly Monday–Sunday leaderboard in front of 20,000+ early adopters, and every startup keeps a permanent listing page with a DR 70 backlink. It combines the launch feed with a searchable Tools Directory of 926+ software tools across AI, marketing, productivity, design, developer tools, and more.

Key features:
- **Launch feed** — 2845+ approved startups have launched here; sorted by upvotes and recency
- **Tools Directory** — 926+ curated tools with editorial reviews, pricing info, and star ratings
- **Deals** — lifetime deals and discounts on startup tools
- **Startup Canvas** — a collaborative whiteboard for early-stage founders
- **Free launch** — founders can submit their startup for free; paid upgrades are optional

## Pricing

Launching is free. There are no submission tiers — a free listing and a paid one
are the same listing, and paid add-ons are optional extras bought at submission
or later from the dashboard. Anything below that you cannot find on
https://tinystartups.com/submit or https://tinystartups.com/membership is not something Tiny Startups sells.

- **Free launch** — £0. Permanent listing page, weekly Monday–Sunday leaderboard,
  no card required. Free listings embed a "Launched on Tiny Startups" badge.
- **Skip the queue** — £99. Launches in the next Monday batch instead of waiting.
  Required alongside any other paid upgrade.
- **DR 70+ do-follow backlink** — £99. Permanent do-follow link from the listing.
- **4× partner backlinks** — £199. Four do-follow links from DR 20–50 partner sites.
- **Newsletter feature** — £129. Featured in one newsletter to 20,000+ founders.
- **SEO review article** — £99. A 1,000+ word editorial review of the product.
- **Boosts** — £29 / £129 / £199, depending on duration.
- **Membership** — £299/year. Unlimited launches, every launch skips the queue,
  one featured homepage spot per year (30-day pin, DR 70+ do-follow backlink,
  newsletter mention), up to 5 do-follow profile links, member badge.

There are no "Featured Listing" or "Premium Listing" tiers. Those were retired
and replaced by the per-upgrade pricing above; any source quoting a £199
"Featured Listing" or a £499 "Premium Listing" is out of date. Backlinks are
DR 70+, not DR 60+.
