Can I post my startup on BetaList?

You can share here directly, provided you follow the format. Posts are rarely removed when they lead with substance instead of a pitch.

Why the ban risk is low

  • Built for sharing what you made — no promo-specific restrictions beyond the format.

The rules, in plain English

For early-stage startups seeking first users. Submission is paid-only (from $39; the $99 tier also features you by Monday and includes the ~70k-subscriber newsletter). Cheapest tier is featured within ~2 weeks; full refund if you're not selected. One-time exposure — best for an initial launch, not every ship.

How to post here safely

Do
  • Follow the community's stated norms and lead with value.
Don't
  • Don't post an undisclosed or link-heavy promotion.

Account requirements

Level
Recommended
  • Submit pre-launch or right after launch — 'launched weeks ago or longer' is a documented disqualifier.
  • Use a distinct, custom-designed landing page on your own domain with a working signup — templates and free-host subdomains are rejected.
  • Plan for the queue: review can take a few weeks and featuring ~2 months; the paid expedite is refunded if rejected.
  • You get two features (pre-launch and launch) — space them a few weeks apart.
