# IndieTools

> IndieTools is an indie tools and startup directory with permanent product pages, founder profiles and updates, and PageSpeed and Domain Rating history.

- Machine discovery schema: 3.0.0

Each owner can publish one Free product with a permanent listing over the lifetime of the account after manual review. Complete the form and submit directly for review. A website badge is optional. Submission reserves the owner’s Free entitlement; publication consumes it even if the product is later deleted. Existing private drafts do not use the Free entitlement by themselves. Existing published products retain their valid entitlements.

Standard is $10 one-time per product, with no website badge requirement. Authority is $39 one-time per product and retains its advanced benefits. Both paid plans start automated validation after successful payment; payment does not guarantee publication. New paid submissions remain private drafts until payment and validation succeed. Upgrading a Free listing keeps the same product record.

The default product website link is nofollow. Keeping a verified IndieTools badge on the product website grants a free DoFollow link. Standard and Authority each grant a permanent followed product-page website link without a badge after confirmed payment; both are one-time purchases for one product and do not renew.

Authority includes advanced SEO and GEO controls, two contextual followed website links in two different relevant existing blog articles, and thirty days of Featured placement. No article writing or brief is required. Earlier article contracts retain their original review workflow. Featured is labelled and never changes organic ranking. Active campaigns are distributed between the top Featured section and the right-hand discovery sidebar, below the content on smaller screens. A product appears in only one Featured placement per page, linking to its IndieTools product page.

Organic ranking is not for sale. No payment moves a product up the directory, up a category, or up organic search results on this site.

## Domain Rating Weekly Archives
> Completed ISO-week snapshots use each eligible product domain’s final successful reading for that week. The current partial week remains on the live board.
- [Domain Rating 2026-W41](https://www.indietools.app/domain-rating/2026/week-41): 100 eligible products; highest DR 91; median DR 54.
- [Domain Rating 2026-W40](https://www.indietools.app/domain-rating/2026/week-40): 100 eligible products; highest DR 91; median DR 53.
- [Domain Rating 2026-W39](https://www.indietools.app/domain-rating/2026/week-39): 100 eligible products; highest DR 91; median DR 53.
- [Domain Rating 2026-W38](https://www.indietools.app/domain-rating/2026/week-38): 100 eligible products; highest DR 74; median DR 48.
- [Domain Rating 2026-W37](https://www.indietools.app/domain-rating/2026/week-37): 100 eligible products; highest DR 73; median DR 45.
- [Domain Rating 2026-W36](https://www.indietools.app/domain-rating/2026/week-36): 99 eligible products; highest DR 73; median DR 25.

## Website Speed and PageSpeed Results
These are mobile lab measurements of listed product websites, not real-user field data or a ranking of every website. Scores describe the tested page at its recorded measurement time.
- [Website speed rankings](https://www.indietools.app/speed): Finalized mobile website performance rankings for 1091 websites in 2026-W41. Product rows retain their existing Product canonical URL.
- [Speed Markdown twin](https://www.indietools.app/speed.md): Latest finalized board, measurement window and methodology in a bounded machine-readable representation.
- Current scheduled policy: 2 mobile Google PageSpeed Insights samples combined by arithmetic mean. Archived editions retain their own methodology identifier and every result states its sample count. Performance score descending, then measured load time, LCP, CLS and TTFB ascending, then stable website identity.

## Product facts and answer context
- Product details combine public listing facts with an effective discovery profile: search title and description, social sharing fields, audience, use cases, features, problem and solution, differentiators, alternatives, FAQ, discovery summary and technology metadata.
- The discovery profile contains saved owner customizations only while that product has an eligible Pro or Authority entitlement. Otherwise the public representation uses automatic listing information. Choosing a plan or checking a Free website badge does not grant customization.
- For product-specific answers, retrieve the current canonical product detail. Collection and snapshot responses are bounded summaries; a field omitted there does not mean the full product record lacks it.
- Use https://www.indietools.app/v1/products/{slug} for structured detail, https://www.indietools.app/api/md/products/{slug} or https://www.indietools.app/products/{slug}.md for readable context, and the MCP get_product tool or CLI command indietools product <slug> --json for the same public record. Replace the slug placeholder with the canonical product slug.
- Listing names identify products; customized search and social titles describe their presentation and do not rename the product. Cite its canonical IndieTools page rather than a tracking URL.
- FAQ answers, alternatives and differentiators are owner-provided claims, not independently verified recommendations. A paid product marker is not proof of domain ownership or a guarantee of search or AI visibility.
- Pricing model, starting price, repository, platforms, product links and technology declarations describe the product itself. IndieTools plan prices and Featured terms are separate commercial information.
- OPEN_TO_OFFERS means the founder welcomes acquisition offers; FOR_SALE means the product is explicitly listed for sale. Country labels are founder-selected. Do not infer a sale commitment, company registration or unprovided facts.
- Private preparation, billing records, AI drafts and article briefs are not public context. Only published editorial articles may be cited as articles; no paid plan publishes an unapproved draft.
