Manage launch directory badges from a single dashboard



TryBadgey is a website widget and dashboard tool designed to display and organize "Featured on" badges from startup and product launch directories. When makers submit products to multiple directories, each platform requires pasting a unique HTML snippet into website footers or landing pages. This quickly leads to bloated code, uneven styling, broken external image links, and repetitive code deployments every time a product launches on a new platform.
TryBadgey resolves this maintenance overhead by introducing a single integration point. Users install a lightweight code snippet once, then select, arrange, and update their badges directly from the central web dashboard. Updates appear live on the website within roughly two minutes without touching codebase files or triggering new deployments.
Unlike tools that mask links behind iframe wrappers or redirects, TryBadgey renders real, direct HTML links into your page. This ensures directories can properly verify backlink compliance and search engines can discover them naturally, while automatic image resizing prevents massive directory assets from hurting page load speeds.
TryBadgey is built for digital product creators who actively submit their projects to startup hubs and software directories, including:
A founder launching an AI tool submits it to 20 software directories in a single week. Instead of altering theme files and running new code deployments 20 times, they check off the platforms in their TryBadgey dashboard to instantly form a neat social proof section.
A marketing manager wants to know which directory listings actually produce value. Using the built-in tracking features, they view exact referral counts per directory while monitoring whether each site still provides an active reciprocal link.
A web developer wants to keep landing page sizes minimal. TryBadgey automatically handles image optimization, ensuring directory icons submitted at massive resolutions do not inflate mobile page weights.
TryBadgey offers a free tier and paid upgrades. The Free plan costs $0 forever for 1 site, supporting up to 10 badges, automatic updates, health checks, and light or dark styling. The Pro plan costs $49 per year for up to 15 sites, providing unlimited badges, referral visitor metrics, weekly listing verification, custom title copy, and the option to hide the TryBadgey credit link. A Lifetime plan is available as a single payment of $299, extending Pro features to up to 25 sites with priority support and all future updates included.
Can directories verify badges managed through TryBadgey?
Yes. TryBadgey inserts real HTML links directly into your web page as provided by the directory, allowing automated verification bots and search engines to validate them without redirects.
Which web platforms and frameworks are supported?
Ready-made setup snippets are provided for WordPress, PHP (including Laravel, CodeIgniter, and Joomla), Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, Node.js, Python (Django and Flask), and Ruby on Rails. Client-only Single Page Apps and visual builders like Webflow, Wix, Shopify, or Framer are not currently supported.
