Why makers pick StarTap over ShipBoost
- No homework. No badge to install and no upvotes to hand out before you're allowed in.
- Months faster. You're live today, not next season.
- A followed link without a badge. Verify your domain with a meta tag or DNS record and your project page links to you without nofollow.
- The race never closes. Launch weeks end. StarTap's leaderboard doesn't.
When ShipBoost is the better fit
- Its free launch comes with a dofollow link straight away, with the badge in place.
- A weekly launch puts you in front of a focused maker audience.
Best of all: you don't have to choose. StarTap is free and takes a minute, so list here today and keep your ShipBoost plans.
About ShipBoost
ShipBoost runs weekly launches. The free launch comes with a dofollow link but needs the ShipBoost badge on your site and upvotes on other launches, and the free queue was about four months long when we checked.
About StarTap
StarTap is a free product directory you play like a game. Makers add their website, tap a Star to earn stars, and spend them on Sources that earn more while they're away. Projects rank on a public leaderboard, every project page links to its site, and anyone can tap for a project they like without signing up.
Frequently asked questions
Is StarTap a ShipBoost alternative?
Yes. Both are free, but StarTap needs no badge and no upvote tasks, and you're live right away.
Should I list on both StarTap and ShipBoost?
Usually, yes. They don't compete for the same moment. Add your site to StarTap today, it's live in a minute, and keep it there while you wait for or run your ShipBoost listing.
Is StarTap really free?
Yes. Listing, playing and verifying cost nothing, and there's no paid tier that buys a higher rank. Stars can't be bought.
