About AllTopStartups
AllTopStartups is a startup and small-business blog published by Content Intelligence Media LLC, with a separate startup directory at alltopstartups.com/directory. Listings are paid; the submit page says payment covers formatting, editing and publishing, and that free listings are suspended while a backlog of submissions is reviewed. A directory listing is a short page with the category, date added, a description that links to the startup's site, and an option to claim the listing.
What a listing gets you
- Permanent directory listing within 48 hours
- Verified green badge and a week on the homepage (Directory option)
- A month on the homepage, a blog review and a Twitter post (Premium option)
- A link to your site in the listing description
Pricing, timing and links
- Pricing
- Two paid options: a Directory listing (permanent listing within 48 hours, verified badge, a week on the homepage) and a Premium option that adds a month on the homepage, a blog review and a Twitter post. The submit page says free listings are currently suspended; prices sit in Stripe buy buttons and are not shown in the page text.
- Approval time
- Both paid options promise a startup directory listing "in less than 48 hours".
- Links
- Checked on 2026-10-07 from a sample listing (https://alltopstartups.com/directory/listing/nametastic-great-ideas-deserve-a-great-domain/): the link to the product's site, inside the listing description, has rel="noopener" only.
Before you submit
- Payment for the Directory or Premium option (free listings are suspended)
- A business or technology product; the site says it does not accept all types of startups
- Card or PayPal payment through Stripe or PayPal
- Submissions openYES
How to get approved
- Choose Premium only if you want the blog review and Twitter post; the Directory option already includes the listing and a homepage week.
- Name your product in the description text, since the sample listing's only link to the product sits inside the description.
- Confirm the price at checkout, because the submit page lists the options but not the amounts in its text.
