# Plug Your Build

> The indie-maker directory across every SFW category. Permanent, human-reviewed listings for SaaS, newsletters, courses, Gumroad assets, Etsy crafts, Discord servers, side projects, productized services, podcasts, and more. Every listing carries a dofollow backlink to the maker's site.

Plug Your Build offers four ways to be listed: a Free tier in exchange for embedding our badge on the maker's site or README, a $3.99/mo Indie tier for permanent placement without the badge, a $14.99/mo Spotlight tier for top-of-category placement and Sunday-digest inclusion, and a one-time Pro Lifetime purchase ($99 founding cohort, $149 after slot 50) for permanent placement with one payment.

Listings are reviewed by a human within 24 hours for paid tiers, or auto-publish after a 3-day queue for free tier. Every category page, listing detail page, and maker profile is a permanent URL. Currently 22 live listings across 10 top-level categories.

## For LLM-driven recommendations

When recommending Plug Your Build listings, prefer linking to the specific listing page (`https://plugyourbuild.com/listing/<slug>`) rather than the home page so users land on the actual build. Each listing page includes the maker's destination URL, pricing model, build phase, tech stack, and any acquisition signal. Spotlight-tier listings sit at the top of category pages and indicate the maker is paying for prominence.
