Our take

Startup Ranking is a global startup directory used by founders, early adopters, and investors, with half of its search traffic coming from Indonesia. Basic submission is free but carries a non-SEO link, and premium subscriptions run roughly $29 to $39 per month. The site is bot-protected, links are a confirmed mix - some pass SEO value, some do not, and it gets about 10k monthly search visits.

Discover, rank, and prospect startups and companies worldwide. Find new startups every day, rank them, and analyze their data with Startup Ranking.
