BuiltByMe vs Disavow.ai

For solo founders and indie developers, the journey from building a great product to getting it discovered is a monumental challenge. You pour your heart into creating innovative tools, only to watch them get lost in the noise of crowded app stores and saturated marketplaces. Simultaneously, professionals and early adopters struggle to find these hidden gems—the unique, often more affordable and focused solutions built by passionate makers rather than large corporations. This disconnect stifles innovation and leaves both builders and users searching for a better way.

BuiltByMe is the dedicated solution to this problem. It is a curated home and discovery platform exclusively for indie-built software products. It serves a dual mission: to help makers showcase their creations to a targeted audience and to empower users to find the perfect tools that fit their specific workflow. The platform features a searchable catalog organized across key categories like AI Tools, Productivity, Marketing, SaaS, and Browser Extensions. Users can efficiently browse new releases, trending products, and maker profiles, cutting through the clutter to find genuine, innovative solutions. For builders, it provides a stage to gain visibility, gather user feedback through votes, and connect with their first customers. BuiltByMe transforms the isolated act of building into a connected community, ensuring great indie products get the attention they deserve.

Every website picks up backlinks it didn't ask for — spam networks, link farms, scraper sites. When they cause a Google penalty or tank your rankings, you need to act fast. Disavow.ai scans your backlink profile, classifies every linking domain as clean, suspicious, or toxic using a 4-layer Smart Risk Engine, and generates the exact file Google needs to ignore the bad ones. Toxic domains are grouped into plain-English categories — Spam & Link Farms, Private Blog Networks, Known Spam Patterns, Risky Extensions, and Near-Zero Authority — each showing exactly why it was flagged. No SEO jargon, no black-box scores. Free tier lets you scan and see 15 backlinks. Pro at $39/mo gives you unlimited backlinks, full export, and weekly auto-scans. That's 70% less than Semrush for the same core functionality.
