Yes, completely free ($0). There are no submission fees, no paywalls, and no hidden subscriptions. Any founder can submit their startup, tool, or SaaS product and receive a live public listing on the weekly leaderboard.
Yes! Every approved startup receives a public product profile page with a direct, verified dofollow backlink to help improve your Google PageRank and domain authority.
No. Startupbricks operates on strict Zero Pay-to-Rank integrity. Leaderboard rankings are determined exclusively by organic community upvotes and authentic maker feedback — never by paid sponsor bidding.
Too many directories charge early-stage founders $50–$250 just for a nofollow link that expires. Startupbricks is an AEO (Answer Engine Optimization) & brand visibility studio — we grow by supporting great founders, not by taxing them for submitting a URL.
Every startup page is generated with rich Schema.org structured data (SoftwareApplication, Product, AggregateRating, FAQPage) and indexed in our public /directory/llms.txt index, allowing AI engines like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini to discover and cite your product in answer overviews.
Takes less than 2 minutes. Get indexed on Google, cited across AI search engines, and put your product in front of 20,000+ monthly builders.
