Alternative to BetaList

A BetaList alternative with a weekly launch

BetaList is a directory for discovering early-stage startups. ShipX gives your product a launch week: it goes live on Monday and the community upvotes, comments and reviews it in a ranked weekly feed.

  • A week, not a day

    Launches run Monday to Sunday (UTC), so your product stays in the ranked feed all week instead of a few hours.

  • Free to launch

    Every week has free launch slots. A paid Premium launch guarantees a slot and adds a featured highlight.

  • A page that stays

    After its week, every launch keeps a public product page with its comments, reviews and links, browsable by category, tag and tech stack.

  • Built for makers under 1000 followers

    Only makers with fewer than 1000 followers on X can launch, checked through the official X API. You’re ranked against people who started where you did.

Questions

Is ShipX a directory?
Partly. Every launch keeps a permanent product page, browsable by category, tag and tech stack. The difference is the launch week first: a fair window in a ranked feed alongside the other makers launching that week.
When does my product go live?
You pick a launch week when you submit. Your product goes live on the Monday of that week (UTC) and stays in that week’s feed until Sunday.
Can I list on both?
Yes. Directories and launch boards work well together. A directory brings slow, steady discovery; a launch week brings a concentrated window of feedback.
