How to submit your startup to Postmake
TL;DR
Postmake is a hand-curated directory of more than 3,000 tools and resources for founders and makers. You can list a product for free if you display a Postmake badge on your site, or pay $49 once (Standard) or $119 once (Premium) for a permanent listing. It suits SaaS and business tools that want a steady, searchable spot next to well-known products.
What is Postmake?
Postmake (postmake.io) is a directory of software and resources sorted into 7 categories: Productivity, Design, Development, Marketing, Launch, Growth and AI. Each listing has its own page with an overview, features and pricing details. The site also runs Open Startups, a Zen List and Startup Books, a list built from the picks of more than 100 founders.
The FAQ calls it "a project by @amrkio", the footer names Light Builds LLC, and the team reviews every listing by hand.
The directory still grows in 2026. Listing images for tools such as Bandicam went up in March 2026, and the newest image we found, for AgileHero, was uploaded on 22 October 2026.
The domain authority of 31 belongs to postmake.io. Postmake states that a listing brings 10+ do-follow links from its pages.
Who should submit to Postmake?
- SaaS founders with a live product and a clear category (email, CRM, design, analytics).
- Makers of AI tools who want a spot in the AI category next to established products.
- Agencies and service businesses that sell to startups: Postmake says it focuses on business tools and services.
- Skip it if your product is still an idea or a waitlist: editors check fit before they publish.
- Skip the free plan if you refuse to place a third-party badge on your homepage.
How much does Postmake cost?
Prices on the submit page in October 2026:
- Free (Badge), $0: a dedicated page, a "Featured" badge and do-follow links, as long as the Postmake badge stays on your website. No permanent listing, newsletter or home page spot.
- Standard, $49 one-time: a permanent listing with no badge required, plus 30 days in the "What's New" section.
- Premium, $119 one-time: everything in Standard, plus a feature in the newsletter (1,900+ subscribers) and on the home page, scheduled with you after approval.
Paid listings do not expire. If editors decide a paid product is not a fit, Postmake promises a full refund. The site publishes no review time.

Tips to get more out of Postmake
- Write the overview as a plain job description: "Lumen is a budgeting app for freelancers."
- Fill in pricing honestly: visitors compare price types and cycles on every listing.
- Pick Standard if you plan to remove badges later: free listings disappear when the badge goes.
- Time a Premium purchase with a launch or a big release, so the newsletter feature lands when you have news.
Our verdict
Postmake is an active, hand-curated directory with transparent prices and a refund promise. The free badge plan costs nothing but space on your homepage, and $49 buys a permanent listing with do-follow links. Expect steady SEO value and modest referral traffic.
