Frequently Asked Questions

Can Blastra submit my product to Indie Hackers?

No. Indie Hackers is a launch platform rather than a directory. Blastra focuses on permanent directory listings that drive ongoing buyer discovery and AI search visibility, not launch-day buzz that fades after the first week. If you want launch-day momentum on Indie Hackers, you'll need to coordinate that submission yourself.

Is Indie Hackers free?

Yes. Indie Hackers is free to list on, with no paid tier or upgrade options on top. The basic profile, badge display, review responses, and analytics — whatever Indie Hackers offers — are all included in the free listing. No catch and no upsell waiting on the other side of the form.

Do I need reviews to get listed on Indie Hackers?

No, reviews are not a prerequisite. Indie Hackers accepts customer reviews and they accumulate over time, but the listing itself goes live without them. Your review strategy on Indie Hackers should depend on what your direct competitors in your category are doing — if they're collecting reviews actively, you should too.

Does Indie Hackers accept beta or waitlist products?

Yes — Indie Hackers doesn't require general availability. Beta and waitlist products are accepted as long as the website is live and explains what the product does. Submitting early can help build SEO presence for the product name before you officially launch into general access.

Can I list my SaaS product on Indie Hackers?

Yes — Indie Hackers accepts product listings, including SaaS, software, AI tools, and hardware. Service businesses, agencies, and consultancies won't be approved or won't fit the audience even if they get through. If you sell services, look at directories with explicit Services focus instead, like Clutch or GoodFirms.

What types of products does Indie Hackers accept?

Indie Hackers accepts all three buyer profiles: B2B (sold to other businesses), B2E (sold to enterprises), and B2C (sold to consumers). That's a broad audience, which is unusual — most directories specialize in one or two. The trade-off is that listings on Indie Hackers need to be specific enough to resonate with whichever buyer is reading; broad positioning won't work as well here.
