Frequently Asked Questions

Does Blastra support StartupBase?

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

Is StartupBase free to list on?

Free listings are available on StartupBase, 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 StartupBase 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.

Are reviews part of how StartupBase works?

No, reviews aren't a meaningful part of StartupBase. 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 StartupBase?

Yes. StartupBase accepts pre-launch products as long as you have a working website, including beta and waitlist stages. The reviewers want to see that the product exists and the website explains what it does, but they don't require general availability or paying customers to approve the listing.

How long does it take to get listed on StartupBase?

It depends on StartupBase's queue and how complete the submission is, but in our experience most listings on StartupBase get approved within >14 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 StartupBase?

Yes — StartupBase 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 StartupBase for B2B, B2C, or B2E products?

StartupBase 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 StartupBase — for that audience, look at directories built specifically for that motion rather than trying to cover it here.

Is StartupBase for product launches or directory listings?

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

Should I list my product on StartupBase?

StartupBase is a general directory with strong domain authority and broad reach across categories — a steady source of buyer discovery and AI search citation that compounds over time. Domain rating 73 (via Ahrefs); 0.04M 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.
