## About

Buildlist is a directory where founders and builders list their startups and tools. To submit, sign in, paste your website URL, let AI prefill the details, edit them, choose a plan and publish. A free Builder listing goes live after you add the Buildlist badge to your site and carries one no-follow link. Paid plans are one-time payments: Challenger at $29 gives do-follow links and 7 days of featured placement, and Leader at $49 adds a #1 spot on a Best-of listicle, homepage placement and up to five more do-follow links. A Frontrunner plan at $99 is marked coming soon. Buildlist Sponsor costs $99/month for a sidebar card and is limited to 5 sponsors. Before submitting, note that the badge is required for the free plan, that Leader listicle placement is exclusive to that plan, and that the site does not state a review time.
