## How it works

BetaList features startups that are not fully launched yet. Visitors sign up for early access, which grows your waitlist before you launch elsewhere.

Every submission is reviewed by editors. In 2026 there is no free submission. You see the exact price at the end of the submission form. Third-party guides report prices from about $39, more for a faster review. If editors reject your startup, BetaList refunds you.

## Good fit if

- Startups that are not public yet and want early sign-ups
- Software products with a landing page and a waitlist

## Skip it if

- You are already fully launched. BetaList is for the stage before
- You need a free option. BetaList no longer has one

## Prepare before you start

- [ ] A live landing page with an email sign-up or early-access form
- [ ] Startup name and URL
- [ ] A one-line tagline
- [ ] A short description written for early adopters: what's new, and what they get for signing up
- [ ] Screenshots of your landing page or product

## Step by step

1. **Get your landing page ready.** Visitors will land there to sign up, so the page must clearly say what's coming and have a working sign-up form.
2. **Submit.** Go to betalist.com/submit and fill in your name, URL, tagline, description and images. The price shows at the end of the form.
3. **Wait for review.** Editors review submissions. Faster review costs more. You get a refund if you are not accepted.
4. **On your feature day.** Watch your sign-ups. Email new sign-ups quickly with a thank-you and what happens next, so they stay interested until launch.

## Rules (break these and your launch gets removed or ignored)

- Only startups that are not fully launched
- Prices and options change. Check the form before you pay

## Tips

- Use BetaList a few weeks before Product Hunt. Your new sign-ups become your launch-day crowd
