BootstrapArena now: verified revenue, plus a page that promotes your business

Most launch sites ask you to trust the founder. Most revenue-tracking sites ask you to trust a screenshot. We think bootstrapped founders deserve something better than both — so BootstrapArena now works differently.

Every listing shows verified revenue. And every listing is a product page built to promote the business behind it. Whether you run a SaaS, an e-commerce store, a mobile app, a Shopify app or a digital product, here's what that means for you.

Verified revenue, from the tool you already bill with

When you list, you connect a read-only API key from your billing tool. We support eleven: Stripe, Lemon Squeezy, Paddle, Polar, Chargebee, Recurly, RevenueCat, ChartMogul, Baremetrics, Shopify Partners and the App Store.

From then on, your page shows numbers nobody typed in:

• MRR — what your active subscriptions bill per month, tax excluded (the same rule Stripe's dashboard uses).
• ARR — MRR × 12.
• Revenue over the last 12 months, with a chart.

The numbers sync automatically. Read-only keys can't move money or change anything in your account, keys are encrypted at rest, and disconnecting deletes both the key and the imported data.

Pre-revenue? List anyway. $0 is verified too. Your line starts climbing the day your first payment arrives — and that line is public proof you're growing.

The revenue race

Verified businesses compete in the revenue race: a live chart on the homepage that plots each one's running revenue over the last 12 months, logos at the front of their lines. It's the first thing visitors see, and it ranks businesses on something that can't be gamed with an upvote ring.

Launch days still exist — you pick a day, and daily, weekly and monthly rankings by community upvotes still crown winners. But revenue leads.

A page that sells, not just a number

Proof alone doesn't convert visitors. So your listing is a full product page, and everything on it is optional:

• Screenshots and demo videos — paste YouTube, Loom or Vimeo links and they play right on the page.
• Products & pricing — your plans as clean cards: price, billing interval, what's included, and a button to each plan.
• Links — App Store, Google Play, docs, Discord, Product Hunt, your blog — whatever visitors should find next to your website.
• Threads — anyone can start a conversation on your page: questions, feedback, feature requests. You can answer, and remove anything that doesn't belong.

You don't have to fill any of it in yourself. When you submit, our AI reads your website and pre-fills the name, description, logo, pricing plans, links and embedded videos. Review it, tweak what's off, done.

Small advantages that add up

• A dofollow backlink to your website from your listing — free.
• A Google-indexed page for your business, with its own title and description.
• Founder profile that collects all your listings in one place.
• Sell whenever you want — list your business on our marketplace, startupstobuy.com, while submitting or any time later from your edit page. Verified revenue is exactly what buyers want to see.

What it costs

Listing is free. If you want extra reach, there's one paid option, Featured (€19.90, one-time): a dedicated article about your business on this blog — written and emailed to you within 24 hours, with lifetime dofollow links — plus 30 days in the Featured spot on the homepage.

How to list in two minutes

1. Paste your website and a read-only key from your billing tool, then hit Verify & continue. 2. Check what our AI filled in from your site. Add videos, pricing or links if you like. 3. Pick a launch day.

That's it — your verified revenue goes live on launch day, and you're in the race.
