@jiten_bansal betapage looks great. in what regard do you differ from others like betalist and startuplist? Is your platform limited to mobile apps and games? i.e. would you not feature a hardware product?
@daniellevine Unlike betalist we don't charge for listing and will never charge.
We have upvote and comment option which is not available in betalist and startuplist.
We are inviting moderators to maintain this platform to keep a check on quality and spamming as we want to dedicate this platform to the growth of start-ups, we don’t want to make it commercial.
Right now we don’t have a big team for development and monitoring so we have opened it for mobile apps and games, as moderators join us we will open it for other apps also.
@jiten_bansal But Betalist is not paid? Great misconception that they only feature products that have paid for their listing - fact of the matter is most submissions are NOT THAT GOOD

Great idea! I have 2 comments / questions:
1. The scrolling feels weird on iMac with latest Safari. Somehow the acceleration is too high and it is hard to stop scrolling in time. Do you use a custom plugin?
2. An iPhone app would be great, do you plan that?
@skreutzb I have not tested at iMac. Let we see and fix the problem. We have not used plugin for infinite scrolling. But if its not working properly on iMac, we will fix it on high priority.
Iphone and android app for BetaPage will be better, it’s in process and will be live in few months.
@jiten_bansal Great, thanks! I checked it under Chrome, too and the scroll feeling is the same as under Safari. It seems the table view / card view has its own content scrolling behavior. I tested it on a 5K iMac. Relating iPhone app: that will be fantastic since it will be a much more direct, frictionless experience with links directly into the App Store to download a displayed app.
Oh and one more thing (sorry for that!): a toggle / slider in the navigation bar to sort either by most recent or most voted apps would strongly improve the browsing experience to find the best new apps.
@skreutzb Oh sorry, I see that you are actually sorting by rank and day - that was not clear to me since there is no indication about a new day in the interface and I thought the sorting is just by time. Maybe you can add on each new day a headline / section header displaying the day. In that way the context becomes much clearer and I right away know that I am currently seeing for example the top 5 apps of a day. And to make the rank even more obvious to the user: Maybe you can add a rank on the left side of the card including an award icon or so for the first 3 winners?
@skreutzb You have noted some important points regrading UX, we will soon fix these problems. We have launched its MVP only and we got tremendous response on it. Now we will soon represent it with better UI , UX and features.
@skreutzb We have fixed the scrolling problem, and now listings are separated by dates.

We submitted 2 weeks ago our startup (Wepic) on BetaPage and we got awesome feedback from early adopter. Thanks to them we improve lot of functionalities. Very easy to use, I personally recommend it.
Welcome to betapage,
Since we realized there is a need of a free platform to attract early adopters for any product in beta stage so we made http://betapage.co , It is free and always will be. You all are welcome to provide us your valuable suggestions, even we want to invite you all as moderator for this platform. Please contribute and help new startups.
Cheers !!!

They cold emailed me asking me to list my startup. Then when I went through the process to submit it (with poor UX, I would add) I was told I was put into a waiting list of 45 days and needed to pay them in order to expedite review.
Shady outbound marketing tactics and unethical behavior by this team in my opinion, for what amounts to basically another version of product hunt. Growth hackers at VC-funded or larger orgs might convince companies to pay these guys money but please don't.
Pros:
Not sure
Cons:
Yet another startup directory trying to take your money.
