Frequently Asked Questions

Can Blastra submit my product to MakerHunt?

Soon. Blastra is currently testing submissions to MakerHunt — we're trialing it on a limited basis to confirm it delivers for customers before adding it to the standard service. Once testing wraps up, we'll handle submissions to MakerHunt the same way as currently supported directories: account setup, listing copy, and approval follow-up, with no extra work on your side.

Is MakerHunt free?

Yes, listings on MakerHunt are free. MakerHunt also offers paid upgrades that build out a more complete profile — fuller profiles give AI search and LLM citation engines more to work with, and the upgrade matters most when you want to prioritize MakerHunt for active review collection. The free listing alone captures the baseline SEO and discovery benefit.

Does MakerHunt have reviews?

No. MakerHunt either doesn't host reviews at all or doesn't weight them in how listings get surfaced — it works on a different model, like editorial curation, traffic, or paid tiers. The value of being on MakerHunt doesn't depend on running a review collection campaign for this listing.

Does MakerHunt accept beta or waitlist products?

No — MakerHunt only accepts products that are publicly available. Beta and waitlist-stage products are rejected because the reviewers want to see something they can actually try before approving the listing. Wait until you've moved out of private beta and the product is purchasable before submitting.

What's the approval time for MakerHunt?

Approval time on MakerHunt varies, but most submissions go live within 3-7 days based on what we've seen. The window depends on directory queue depth and how clean the submission is — incomplete forms, missing assets, or non-English websites all push the timeline toward the longer end of the range.

Can I list my SaaS product on MakerHunt?

Yes — MakerHunt 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 MakerHunt accept?

MakerHunt accepts B2B (sold to other businesses) and B2C (sold to consumers) products. The audience covers both segments, so a product serving either (or both) fits the platform. The remaining buyer segment isn't a fit on MakerHunt — for that audience, look at directories built specifically for that motion rather than trying to cover it here.

Is MakerHunt a good place to launch a product or to list one?

MakerHunt is a launch platform — best for generating buzz and momentum on launch day, not for ongoing discoverability. Listings stick around afterward, but the traffic and attention drop sharply after the launch window. Treat MakerHunt as an event you participate in, not a permanent SEO asset like G2 or Capterra.

Is MakerHunt worth listing on?

Top three hunted products earn badges, and Free or Premium winners can unlock dofollow backlinks. Domain rating 43 (via Ahrefs); 0.002M monthly visits. It's not a fit for service businesses, and it accepts B2B and B2C products only — worth checking against your product profile before listing.
