CurlShip
curlship.comCurlShip is a directory for all kinds of startups, including AI tools, developer tools, and SaaS. We went through its submission pages in October 2026: what it costs, the link you get, who gets in and how to submit.
How much does CurlShip cost?
Listing on CurlShip is free, with paid options from $1.
Free listings are nofollow by default. Add a public link to curlship.com (the badge is optional; any qualifying link works) to switch the listing to dofollow. The link must not use nofollow, ugc, or sponsored, and the page must be publicly reachable. Checks run hourly, or can be triggered immediately; removing the link reverts the listing to nofollow. Listings do not expire on a timer.

Does CurlShip give a dofollow backlink?
CurlShip links to your site, but only makes the link dofollow once you link back to them.
Its Ahrefs Domain Rating is 51. Part of that comes from sites that link back to it in exchange for a listing, so it likely overstates what its link is worth to you (why).
Who gets into CurlShip, and how fast?
Every product that fits gets listed.
New listings are shown to its audience: on the homepage, in a newsletter or on social media.
FAQ says listings go live immediately with no manual approval or review queue. Badge checks run hourly, with an immediate manual trigger available.
How much traffic does CurlShip get?
Similarweb doesn't rank curlship.com, which usually means very few visitors.
What CurlShip says about its audience: No visitor, traffic, or subscriber figure stated. The Stats page reports 8,404 total listings, 1,043 added in the last 7 days, a best day of 501 listings on Oct 20, 2026, and Ahrefs DR 50.

What the form asks for
