Pricing
StartupBar is a mutual traffic exchange for software founders. Your first startup listing is free forever. If you want to list more than one startup, each extra listing is a one-time payment.
- One startup listed in the network
- Your bar shown on every member site
- Public startup profile page
- Impression & click dashboard
- Leaderboard and network listing
- Everything in the free listing
- One extra startup on the same account
- Charged once per extra listing — no subscription
- Reviewed before it goes live
How to purchase
- Create a StartupBar account (or sign in) and open the Apply page.
- Enter your startup name, website, one-line description and founder note, and install the widget snippet on your site.
- Your first listing submits for free. If you already have a listing, the button becomes “Pay $9.99 & submit”.
- You are taken to a secure Dodo Payments checkout to pay by card.
- After payment you return to StartupBar and the listing is submitted automatically for review.
The paid checkout only appears for an account's second and later listings, so it is reachable after sign-in on the Apply page. Everything on this page describes the same prices and terms.
Payments & billing
- Payments are processed by Dodo Payments, our merchant of record. StartupBar never sees or stores your card details.
- All prices are in US dollars. Applicable taxes are calculated and shown at checkout.
- Charges are one-time. There are no recurring subscriptions and nothing auto-renews.
- Your receipt is emailed by Dodo Payments and the charge appears on your statement via Dodo Payments.
Refunds
All payments are final. Because a paid listing is delivered as soon as it is submitted for review, we do not offer refunds. If a payment went through but your listing did not appear, email hello@startupbar.co with your payment receipt and we will complete the listing for you at no extra cost.
What you get for the money
A listing places your startup in the rotation shown by the StartupBar widget across every member site. Delivery is reciprocity-weighted: the more impressions your site delivers to the network, the more your startup receives back. Listings must keep the widget visible on their site to stay in the network. See the FAQ for eligibility rules and delivery details.
