Indie Page Alternatives in 2026: What to Look For
Sep 9, 2026 · 4 min read · #Comparisons #Indie hackers
Indie Page (indiepa.ge) is one of the best-known pages for solo founders to show their startups in one place. If you are searching for Indie Page alternatives in 2026, it is usually not because it stopped working: as of October 2026 it is live and actively used. It is more often because you want a different look, a different payment provider, different pricing or simply want to compare before choosing. This post covers what makes Indie Page useful, what to look for in any maker page, and a fair list of options.
What Indie Page does well
It is worth being clear about why people use it, because those are the features any alternative should match:
- Built for founders, not creators. The page is about your startups, not your latest video.
- Revenue verification. Its site says you can connect Stripe or Lemon Squeezy and show revenue with a "Revenue Verified" badge.
- Leaderboards. It has public leaderboards, which give people a reason to browse and a way to be discovered.
- Room for failures. Its homepage encourages sharing failures as well as successes.
- Customisation. As of October 2026 its site lists a custom domain, many themes and several fonts.
- Simple pricing. It uses one-time payments (a yearly pass and a lifetime option) rather than a monthly subscription.
If those features cover what you need, Indie Page is a solid choice and you may not need to switch.
What to look for in an alternative
Whichever tool you consider, check these points.
Which payment providers it can verify
This matters most. If your revenue is on Stripe, most maker pages can verify it. If you sell through Lemon Squeezy, Paddle, Gumroad or Shopify, check support carefully, because coverage varies a lot between tools.
How it asks for access
Any tool that verifies revenue needs some access to your payment account. Look for one that asks for a read-only credential, like a Stripe restricted key with only Read permissions, rather than a full secret key or a broad OAuth grant. We explain why in how to show verified MRR.
How it calculates revenue
MRR from subscriptions, last 30 days of sales, all-time revenue? Each tool picks a method. Make sure it is stated somewhere and that it handles refunds.
Project status
Can you mark a project as Building, Acquired or Discontinued? A page of links without status hides your history.
Stats
Do you get views, clicks per project and referrers? Without stats you cannot tell whether the page is doing anything.
Pricing model
One-time, yearly or monthly. None is better in principle, but compare the total over a few years, and check what the free tier includes.
Exit options
Can you export your data? Is there a custom domain, so your link survives if you move? Tools do shut down: Bento, a popular link-in-bio tool, closed in February 2026 and its links now redirect to Linktree.
Options worth a look
These are tools makers commonly use for this job. Check each one's current features and pricing yourself, since they change.
Indie Page
Covered above. Good choice if you want a founder-focused page with Stripe or Lemon Squeezy verification and prefer a one-time payment.
TrustMRR
TrustMRR is a public directory of startups with revenue pulled from payment providers rather than typed in. It is more a database of verified startups than a personal page, so it suits people who mainly want a verified listing.
Peerlist
Peerlist is a professional profile for people in tech, with space to list projects alongside your work history. It suits you if your audience is employers and peers as much as customers.
Your own site
A personal site gives you complete control and costs little to host. The trade-off is time: you build the layout, wire up any revenue display yourself and keep it updated. Many makers start here and let it go stale.
A general link-in-bio tool
Linktree and similar tools are polished and widely recognised, with lots of link types and integrations. They are built around a list of links, so they do not have project status or revenue verification. We compare the two approaches in Linktree vs a maker page.
makerhandle
makerhandle is the tool we build, so weigh this accordingly. It is a maker page with projects, status (Active, Building, Acquired, On hold, Discontinued), tags and featured cards. Revenue can be verified from Stripe (a read-only restricted key) or Shopify (orders over the last 30 days, net of refunds). It has a public leaderboard with a verified-only filter, built-in stats, six themes and a custom domain on Pro.
Where it differs from Indie Page: it supports Shopify, and it is priced as a yearly subscription ($20 a year for Pro) with a free plan for up to five projects. Where Indie Page has the edge: it supports Lemon Squeezy, which makerhandle does not, and it offers a lifetime option.
How to choose
- Sell on Lemon Squeezy? Pick a tool that supports it.
- Sell on Shopify? Pick a tool that can read Shopify orders.
- Want a verified directory listing more than a personal page? Look at directories.
- Want a personal page with projects, status and revenue in one place? Compare Indie Page and makerhandle side by side.
