Paid only other
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- No free submission route — /submit is dead and the site only offers paid partnerships ('Book a Partnership', 'Partner with us', media kit)
- Product should be a SaaS/AI/dev tool targeting marketers, founders, teams, or developers
- Deliverable is a produced video breakdown + newsletter + social distribution, not a directory listing
Prepare before opening the form
- Budget for a sponsored content partnership
- Product narrative/angle — they 'align on a tactical narrative' rather than reading your landing page
- Media kit review at /media-kit before booking
Workflow
- Review https://makerthrive.com/media-kit for formats and audience stats (10K+ YouTube subs, 13K+ newsletter, 56K+ X)
- Book via /partner ('Book a spot' / 'Start a Partnership')
- Align on angle; they produce a dedicated breakdown video and distribute across YouTube, X, newsletter
Watch for
- Source-claimed /submit directory route no longer exists — this is a sponsorship channel, not a directory
- Banner says 'MakerThrive's Community is evolving' — site is mid-pivot; older directory-style listings may be gone
- No pricing published on the homepage — cost is revealed via the partnership flow
What counts as live
A dedicated MakerThrive video/feature about the product is published on their YouTube channel and referenced from makerthrive.com
Not verified
- Exact partnership pricing and tiers
- Whether any free community listing still exists post-pivot
- Whether a link on makerthrive.com itself (vs. just YouTube description) is included
