Our take

Startuups is a startup directory with weekly launches aimed at founders, early adopters and investors. The free tier offers 25 slots a week but asks you to visit five of ten other startups, while Premium costs $5 one-time per launch for a featured spot and a guaranteed SEO backlink link. Free launches earn SEO-friendly only with a top-3 finish or the optional badge, and the young site has no measurable search traffic.

Discover and upvote the best new startups launching every week. Join our community of founders and early adopters on startuups.com.
