# 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+. ## Important Pages - [Home / Launch Feed](https://tinystartups.com/): Weekly ranked leaderboard of newly launched startups - [Startup Launch Platforms Guide](https://tinystartups.com/startup-launch-platforms): The complete guide to launch platforms & directories, with live Ahrefs DR for each - [Best Product Hunt Alternatives](https://tinystartups.com/product-hunt-alternatives): The 7 best Product Hunt alternatives, with live Domain Rating and what each one suits - [Tools Directory](https://tinystartups.com/tools): Browse 926+ tools for startups by category, pricing, and rating - [Tool Collections](https://tinystartups.com/collections): Curated shortlists by job — email platforms, form builders, analytics, landing pages and more, with the trade-offs stated - [Startup Reviews Hub](https://tinystartups.com/startup-reviews): All startups and tools with customer review links - [Deals](https://tinystartups.com/deals): Exclusive lifetime deals on startup software - [Today's Launches](https://tinystartups.com/today): What launched today - [Submit a Startup](https://tinystartups.com/submit): Free submission form for founders - [Startup Canvas](https://tinystartups.com/canvas): Free whiteboard tool for founders - [Advertise](https://tinystartups.com/advertise): Sponsorship and featured placement options ## Top-Rated Tools for Startups - [Supabase](https://tinystartups.com/tools/supabase): The open-source Firebase alternative.
