Our take

Startup Spotlight lists small, independent SaaS products for buyers and founders, with its limited traffic coming entirely from the US. Listing costs $29 one-time, goes live immediately and includes a verified badge, though the badge terms are worth checking. Links are SEO-friendly under certain conditions, and search traffic is small at about 40 visits a month.

A curated directory of micro-startups and indie SaaS. Every listing gets a permanent do-follow backlink and a verified badge. A flat $29 to list, live immediately.
