Frequently Asked Questions

Does Blastra support Sidehunt?

Soon. Blastra is currently testing submissions to Sidehunt — 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 Sidehunt the same way as currently supported directories: account setup, listing copy, and approval follow-up, with no extra work on your side.

Is Sidehunt free to list on?

Free listings are available on Sidehunt, with optional paid upgrades on top. The upgrades exist to flesh out a more robust profile, which helps with LLM visibility and matters most when Sidehunt is one of the directories you want to prioritize for review collection. Most companies start free and only revisit upgrades once they see results from being there.

Is Sidehunt a good fit for Side projects companies?

Yes. Sidehunt specializes in Side projects, which means the audience is pre-qualified by category — buyers, analysts, and operators already focused on this space rather than general software shoppers. That audience pre-qualification is the single strongest signal for return on a listing, and it's why niche directories often outperform general ones.

Are reviews part of how Sidehunt works?

No, reviews aren't a meaningful part of Sidehunt. The platform's value isn't built on review volume, so a review collection campaign isn't required to benefit from a listing here. If you have a review strategy already, focus that energy on directories where reviews actually drive ranking or visibility.

Can I list a pre-launch product on Sidehunt?

No. Sidehunt requires the product to be in general access — beta-only or waitlist-only products won't be approved. The reviewers want a working, purchasable product they can verify before publishing the listing. If you're still in private beta, hold off on submitting to Sidehunt until you go publicly available.

How long does it take to get listed on Sidehunt?

It depends on Sidehunt's queue and how complete the submission is, but in our experience most listings on Sidehunt get approved within 3-7 days. If your submission is missing fields or the website needs translation work, expect the longer end of that range or some back-and-forth before approval.

Can I list my software on Sidehunt?

Yes — Sidehunt 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.

Is Sidehunt for B2B, B2C, or B2E products?

Sidehunt accepts B2C (sold to consumers) and B2B (sold to other businesses) 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 Sidehunt — for that audience, look at directories built specifically for that motion rather than trying to cover it here.

Is Sidehunt for product launches or directory listings?

Sidehunt 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 Sidehunt as an event you participate in, not a permanent SEO asset like G2 or Capterra.

Should I list my product on Sidehunt?

Sidehunt is built specifically for Side projects companies, which means the audience visiting it is pre-qualified by category — buyers, analysts, and operators focused on Side projects rather than general software shoppers. Domain rating 42 (via Ahrefs); 0.003M monthly visits. It's not a fit for service businesses, and it accepts B2C and B2B products only — worth checking against your product profile before listing.
