Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

Requirements

Accepts SaaS products, apps, developer tools, online services, courses, and other digital products
Product must be 'live enough for somebody outside your team to open, understand, and try or buy' — a live, publicly reachable website required
Accurate founder, category, platform, and technology details; logo plus product images/screenshots
Working links, no misleading claims or impersonation; duplicate listings are rejected in review
Account required — submission flow sits behind sign-in at /dashboard/products/new

Product URL, concise problem statement, and description
Founder name/details, category, platforms, and technology stack
Product logo and screenshots/images
Optional: $30 one-time 'Authority' upgrade adds a permanent followed link, SEO/GEO controls, a reviewed article, and a labelled 30-day Featured period

Sign in at https://indietools.app/signin
Open https://indietools.app/submit → 'Start your submission' (goes to /dashboard/products/new)
Fill the product record: URL, description, category, founder details, tech stack, images
Send to the review queue; manual review verifies the product is live/usable and may correct category, type, pricing, or copy
On approval the product gets a permanent public page; owners can edit the listing later

Payment never influences approval — same review boundary for free and paid
Featured/ads are labelled placements and don't change organic ranking
Free tier link may be nofollow — the paid Authority tier is what advertises a 'permanent followed website link'
Dashboard URLs require auth — direct /dashboard/products/new without a session redirects to /signin

The product has a public page under indietools.app/products and appears in category/discovery listings after review
