Trust Revenue
Conditional free route directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- Free basic listing requires an account and creating a listing via the dashboard (/dashboard/startup)
- Free tier queues — paid 'For founders ready to sell fast' tier advertises 'Instant go-live — no queue'
Requirements
- Real startup with traction signals — the marketplace centers on revenue/MRR data
- Founders submit name, tagline, URL, category, MRR, and payment provider
- Revenue verification is done by connecting live payment-provider API keys (read-only); verified badge is a paid feature
- Optional GA + Search Console connection supported on the free tier
- Listings can optionally be marked 'open for acquisition' with seller guidance pricing
Prepare before opening the form
- Startup name, tagline, URL, and category (SaaS, AI Tools, E-commerce, Infrastructure, Marketplace, DevTools)
- MRR figure and the payment provider used (Stripe etc.) — read-only API key if pursuing the verified revenue badge
- Google Analytics / Search Console access if connecting traffic metrics
- Founder profile info for the founder directory
- Decide whether the listing should be marked 'For Sell' / open for acquisition
Workflow
- Create an account on trust-revenue.com
- Open the dashboard and add a startup (batch-provided path: /dashboard/startup)
- Enter name, tagline, URL, category, MRR, and payment provider; optionally connect GA/Search Console and read-only payment keys
- Publish the free listing (queued) or subscribe $19/mo / $99/yr for instant go-live, verified badge, and homepage spotlight
- Listing goes live at /startups/{slug} with metrics, founder info, tech stack, gallery, and discussion
Watch for
- Pages are JS-rendered — plain HTTP fetches return empty; a real browser is needed
- Free tier has no verified revenue badge, no homepage spotlight, no priority boost — visibility is limited
- Marketplace acquisition success fee applies if a sale happens through the platform — see /fees
- Claiming an existing listing vs creating a new one are separate flows (FAQ mentions 'add or claim')
- Revenue verification requires handing over read-only payment-provider API keys — a trust decision, not just a form
What counts as live
The startup has a public profile at trust-revenue.com/startups/<slug> and appears in /browse or its category page
Not verified
- Free-tier queue length / review turnaround
- Exact form fields inside the dashboard (JS-only pages)
- Whether revenue fields can be hidden while staying listed (FAQ suggests yes: 'Can I hide revenue but stay listed?')
- Success-fee percentage on acquisitions (referenced but amount not captured)
