Free route community
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- Account required — sign in with Google, GitHub, or X at builders.to/signin
- Free tier: 1 project, feed posting up to 5x/day, Discord access
- Projects at any stage accepted: Idea → Building → Beta → Launched → Paused → Acquired
- Paid upgrades: Verified $25 one-time (badge + recorded MVP review), Pro for more projects/reach
Prepare before opening the form
- Project name, short description/tagline, URL, tags
- Current stage classification (Idea/Building/Beta/Launched/etc.)
- Screenshots/media for the project page
- Google, GitHub, or X account for sign-in
Workflow
- Sign in at builders.to/signin via Google, GitHub, or X
- Go to builders.to/projects and click 'Share Project' (or quick-action in nav)
- Fill name, description, stage, URL, tagline, tags; add images
- Submit — project goes live immediately at /projects/<slug>, on your profile, and in the community feed
- Post updates/milestones to the feed (5/day free limit) to sustain visibility
Watch for
- Free tier caps at 1 project — pick the product that matters
- Direct fetches of builders.to pages failed for us (search-index content used) — site may block non-browser clients
- Community feed visibility decays without ongoing updates — 'launch once' page persists but engagement requires posting
- Paid 'trending boosts' exist — organic reach may compete with paid placement
What counts as live
The project has a public page at builders.to/projects/<slug> and appears on the /projects browse page and community feed
Not verified
- Whether project pages stay indexed long-term for low-activity accounts
- Moderation — do projects ever get rejected/removed post-publish
- Whether the batch's /projects/new URL is the live form (site was unfetchable; how-to references 'Share Project' on /projects)
