What a listing on BetaList gets you
BetaList now says all submissions are paid; when we submitted three startups through its earlier free queue they were featured 3½, 7 and 9 weeks later. A Boost costs $99 a week or $199 a month at our September 2026 check. The product must be new and have its own domain.
How to submit to BetaList
- Search BetaList for your product first. If it's already listed, claim or update that listing instead of submitting again.
- Open the submit page: betalist.com/submit.
- No account is needed to submit.
- Fill in the form. When our agent walked it, it asked for your email (required).
- Expect a Cloudflare Turnstile check before you can submit.
- Submissions are reviewed before they go live. Save the listing URL once it's public.

Submit to BetaList with your AI agent
AgentLaunch is a launch kit you open in Claude Code, Codex or Cursor. Your agent submits your product to 300+ hand-checked directories, BetaList included, from your own browser, and tracks every listing. On BetaList specifically:
- It already knows BetaList's submit flow from the path we recorded (betalist.com/submit → betalist.com/login → betalist.com/signup).
- BetaList needs an account, so the agent signs up and confirms the email itself.
- It writes the listing copy for BetaList's audience (launch platform and maker community) instead of pasting the same description everywhere.
- It stops for the Cloudflare Turnstile check, you solve it, and it carries on.
- When BetaList publishes the listing, it saves the URL and checks the dofollow link in your launch tracker.
