Frequently Asked Questions
What is indieSpotlight?
indieSpotlight is a curated directory for independent SaaS products and developer tools. Makers submit a real product, we review it, and visitors discover, upvote, and follow listings that are worth trying.
Is listing free?
Yes. A standard directory listing is free after review. Spotlight is an optional paid placement if you want stronger visibility on the homepage rail, leaderboard priority, and a featured badge.
How does review work?
Every submission is checked before it goes live. We look for a useful product, a working core experience, honest listing copy, and reviewable media. Paid promotion never bypasses review.
Who can submit?
Independent makers who own or are authorized to represent the product. Early-stage tools are welcome when the main flow works and the listing is honest β including AI-assisted and no-code products.
What is Spotlight?
Spotlight is a scarce promoted run on indieSpotlight. It puts your product in clearly labeled featured placement with stronger homepage visibility for a limited window β not a guaranteed SEO or Domain Rating outcome.
How do upvotes work?
Signed-in visitors can upvote products they like. Rankings help surface momentum, but we still moderate listings so the directory stays useful rather than becoming a spam contest.
Do backlinks / Domain Rating come with a listing?
Published listings live on joinindiespotlight.com and may include outbound links according to listing type. We do not sell Domain Rating or promise rankings β you pay for reviewed visibility, not SEO guarantees.
How long does a listing stay live?
Approved listings stay in the directory. Spotlight placement is time-limited; the free listing continues after a Spotlight run ends unless the product is removed or fails later quality checks.
