Postmake
Conditional free route directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- Paid is the default: 'Getting listed is paid' — Standard $79, Premium $119, Promoted $199 (all permanent listings)
- Free route exists via badge: add a Postmake badge to your site and they feature the listing once it's live (instructions at /submit-badge-listing)
Requirements
- Focus on business tools and services — manual review checks directory fit
- Misfit paid submissions are cancelled and refunded
- New submissions processed within 'a couple of business days'
Prepare before opening the form
- Business/tool details and URL appropriate to the directory's categories (design, development, marketing, launch tools)
- Badge embed for the free route, or a Stripe checkout payment for a paid listing ($79/$119/$199)
- Newsletter-worthy angle — paid tiers promise a feature to 1,700+ subscribers
Workflow
- Choose free badge listing (/submit-badge-listing instructions) or a paid tier via Stripe buy links
- Submit the business details
- Manual fit review — rejected paid submissions are refunded
- Permanent listing goes live on a dedicated page linked across the directory; promoted tiers get 'What's New' featuring and 1 month of directory promotion
Watch for
- The three paid tiers display identical bullet lists on the submit page — price ladder differences are not spelled out; assume escalating promotion
- Free badge route exists but is buried at the bottom of the submit page — easy to miss
- Backlinks cited as '45 DR' — modest authority
- Some outbound links are affiliate links per the site's own footer
What counts as live
Permanent dedicated listing page on postmake.io linked from the directory (and 'What's New' section for fresh/promoted listings)
Not verified
- Concrete differences between Standard/Premium/Promoted tiers beyond the headline descriptions
- Whether the free badge listing is dofollow and how quickly it is reviewed
- Whether account creation is needed or submission is email/form-based
