What is a do-follow backlink and why is it important for my startup?

A do-follow backlink is a hyperlink that passes "link juice" from the linking website to yours, signaling to search engines that your site is a valuable resource. This directly improves your search engine ranking and domain authority. Indietool provides a do-follow backlink from a site with a DR of 47+, which is a significant boost for any startup looking to improve its organic visibility and attract more traffic without paying for ads.

How does the credit system work on Indietool?

Each credit on Indietool equals one app submission. When you purchase the Pro plan for $6.99, you receive 1 credit, allowing you to submit one startup. The Premium plan, priced at $17.99, gives you 3 credits, effectively offering you the third submission for free. There are no recurring subscriptions or hidden fees. You simply buy the credits you need, submit your startup, and enjoy the benefits of the backlink and traffic.

Can I submit more than one startup to Indietool?

Yes, absolutely. If you have multiple startups or tools, you can submit each one by using a separate credit.
