How much does Betabound cost?
Listing on Betabound is free if you wait your turn.
No backlink or badge requirement is stated. Betabound reviews every request and may decline it; FAQ says a few business days is typical for preparing a post. Products should be in beta or unreleased, explain what they are and how testers can join and provide feedback, be relevant to a significant part of the community, be complete and reasonably polished, and not charge for access. Public Betabound Exclusives are hand-selected; interested teams can email, but no fee is stated.
- Human-reviewed request; not every submission is posted
- Betabound writes the post and links it to the supplied Beta URL
- Approved post on the homepage and social channels
- One homepage repost may be requested after the post has been live for more than two weeks; not reposted on social media
- Hand-selected public beta opportunity, described as featured at the top of the homepage and hosted within Betabound's platform
- Teams may email to express interest; this is not a selectable paid plan in the submission form

Extras they sell
- Centercode Delta edition status (separate from a listing package)
- Betabound says it prioritizes reviewing Centercode Delta edition customers, but says there is no direct way to pay for a Betabound post and this gives no placement guarantee.
