## About

StartupTrusted is a database of verified startups where founders submit their products to get discovered. The site organizes listings by category, such as YouTube, and shows featured and recent listings of software, apps and online services. Submitting starts with signing in with email. The Free plan costs $0 and requires adding the StartupTrusted badge to your website, which is verified automatically before submission, and the listing appears after manual review by the team. The Pro plan costs $11 as a one-time payment and gives a dofollow backlink with instant approval and listing. The Featured plan costs $19 as a one-time payment and adds placement on the homepage above all listings. The pricing page says there are no recurring fees. The site does not state a review time for the Free plan or whether pre-launch products are accepted.

## How to submit

Choose a plan on the pricing page, sign in with email, then submit the startup. The Free plan needs the StartupTrusted badge on your website, checked automatically before submission, then manual review. Pro and Featured get instant approval and listing.
