Sell With Boost Review: Startup Directory Worth Listing On
Travelers today don't just pick a destination — they curate a whole kit of apps for it. Route planners, currency converters, translation tools, and of course eSIM providers like RoamJet. The problem? Finding genuinely useful travel tech is harder than ever when every app store result is gamed by ads. That's where curated startup directories step in, and Sell With Boost has quietly become one of the most interesting places to discover emerging products — including RoamJet itself.
We got listed on Sell With Boost as part of our push to reach travelers who are actively hunting for better connectivity tools. This article walks through what the platform is, how it compares to classic directories like Product Hunt or BetaList, and why it's worth bookmarking whether you're a founder, a maker, or just someone who loves discovering new apps before they hit the mainstream.
What is Sell With Boost?
Sell With Boost (sellwithboost.com) is a curated startup discovery and listing platform. Founders submit their products, the community upvotes what they love, and early adopters get a live feed of what's launching. Think Product Hunt's DNA, but leaner, cheaper, and without the "launch day or die" pressure — listings are permanent.
Every listing gets a dedicated SEO-optimized page with description, tags, cover image, social links, and a website link. Google indexes these pages quickly, which means a Sell With Boost listing doubles as a real backlink plus a discovery channel. That combination is why it's appealing for small teams shipping their first product.
Platform by the numbers
The directory is still in its growth phase but already has meaningful traction across categories that matter to travelers and tech-focused audiences alike.
| Metric | Current Figure | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| Total startups listed | 172+ | Enough depth to browse by category |
| Active makers | 376+ | Real community, not a ghost town |
| New submissions per week | ~58 | Steady pipeline of fresh products |
| Categories covered | 40+ | From AI to eSIM to e-commerce |
| Top upvoted product | 67 votes | Genuine community engagement |
Pricing: what you actually pay
One of Sell With Boost's strongest moves is pricing transparency. Most directories either charge hidden fees or bury premium tiers behind "contact us" forms. Here every plan is upfront and mostly one-time — no lock-in.
| Plan | Price | Featured Duration | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 forever | Directory listing only | Indie makers testing the waters |
| Standard | $29 one-time | 7 days on homepage | Soft launches, side projects |
| Premium | $99 one-time | 30 days on homepage | Funded startups wanting exposure |
| Boost Pack | $19–$29 one-time | 24–48 hours top spot | Re-launches, milestone pushes |
| Rolling Featured | $29 / month | Continuous featuring | Ongoing visibility campaigns |
| Launch Day | $149 one-time | 24h feature + newsletter + social | Big launch moments |
The Free tier requires embedding a "Listed on Sell With Boost" badge on your site — exactly the one shown at the top of this article. Paid tiers skip that requirement. For early-stage products, the badge trade is fair: you get a permanent, SEO-indexed profile page in exchange for a lightweight backlink.
Why travelers should care about startup directories
App stores surface what's popular, not what's useful. If you're planning a trip to Japan, Indonesia, or Morocco and you search the App Store for "eSIM," the top results are almost always the biggest ad spenders — not necessarily the best value or the best coverage. Curated directories reverse that incentive by letting small, focused products surface on merit.
Here's a practical comparison of where travelers actually find travel-tech apps:
| Discovery Channel | Ranking Signal | Bias | Traveler Utility |
|---|---|---|---|
| App Store / Play Store | Downloads + ad spend | Favors incumbents | Moderate — reviews help |
| Google Search | Backlinks + SEO | Favors affiliate blogs | Mixed — lots of noise |
| Product Hunt | Launch-day upvotes | Favors one-day hype | Good, but hard to browse later |
| Sell With Boost | Ongoing upvotes + category browsing | Favors active indie products | Good for niche finds like eSIM tools |
| Reddit r/solotravel etc. | Peer recommendations | Community-driven | High — real user voice |
What makes Sell With Boost different
AI-assisted submissions
Paste your URL and the platform auto-fills your listing — name, description, category, tags. For founders this shaves the submission down to under five minutes. For browsers, it means listings are consistent and parseable, not a wall of freeform copy.
Permanent listings
Unlike launch-day platforms where your moment fades in 24 hours, Sell With Boost keeps your profile page live forever. Featured placement rotates, but the underlying listing and its SEO value stay put. This matters for slow-burn discovery — travelers often find eSIM providers weeks or months before a trip.
Community upvotes that compound
The upvote system is straightforward but the ranking rewards sustained engagement, not a launch-day spike. A product that keeps collecting upvotes over time keeps rising, which suits utility apps (like connectivity tools) better than novelty apps.
Transparent badge system
The "Listed on Sell With Boost" badge is both a trust signal for users and a free-tier access key for makers. You can see the badge at the top of this article. Clicking it takes you to the full directory — a much more useful endpoint than the typical "As seen on…" logos most sites sprinkle around.
RoamJet's experience being listed
We listed RoamJet under the travel and connectivity categories. The onboarding was under ten minutes end-to-end. The AI auto-fill pulled our product name, description, and relevant tags from our site; we only had to tweak two sentences of the description and pick the right category. The listing went live after our badge was verified on this very blog post.
For a global eSIM service, the value isn't in a single launch-day traffic spike. It's in having a permanent, indexed page that shows up when a traveler is two weeks away from a trip and starts Googling "best eSIM for Southeast Asia" or browsing curated startup lists. Directory listings quietly compound.
How to list your own startup
- Go to sellwithboost.com and click "Submit startup."
- Paste your product URL. The AI fills in most fields automatically.
- Choose a plan. Free works fine if you're okay embedding the badge. Standard ($29) skips the badge and adds 7 days of homepage featuring.
- Embed the badge (free tier only) — one HTML snippet in your footer or a blog post works.
- Submit and wait. Free listings auto-approve after badge verification. Paid tiers are instant.
Expect your listing to be Google-indexed within 24–48 hours. From there, upvotes and category browsing do the discovery work.
Who should (and shouldn't) use it
Good fit:
- Indie makers with a working product and no launch budget
- Travel-tech, productivity, and AI startups (the most active categories)
- Teams that want steady SEO value over launch-day hype
- Products with a clear category — fuzzy positioning hurts you on directories
Skip it if:
- You're pre-product and only have a waitlist page — wait until you have something to demo
- Your product is enterprise-only with a 6-month sales cycle — the audience is wrong
- You're chasing a Product Hunt-style viral moment — different game entirely
Key takeaways
- Sell With Boost is a curated startup directory with 172+ listings and ~376 makers, growing by roughly 58 submissions a week.
- Pricing is transparent and mostly one-time — Free (with badge), $29 Standard, $99 Premium, plus add-ons for boosts and launches.
- Permanent SEO-indexed listing pages make it especially useful for utility products like eSIM providers where discovery happens over weeks, not hours.
- RoamJet is listed — you can find us in the travel/connectivity categories, or click the badge above to explore the wider directory.
- For travelers, it's a decent antidote to app-store ranking noise: a browsable catalog of small, focused products that aren't just the biggest ad spenders.
Whether you're a founder hunting for a low-friction way to get your product indexed, or a traveler looking for the next essential app before your trip, Sell With Boost is worth ten minutes of your time.
