F6S
A huge founder graph. Useful for applying to programs and looking like a real company. Weak as a consumer launch.
F6S is where a lot of accelerators still collect applications and where founders keep a public startup profile. Listing there is hygiene if you might apply to programs. It is not where consumers discover apps.

StartupRanking lists companies with an SR Score and country pages. Easy registration. Treat the score as their widget, not as due diligence. Fine as extra GEO, bad as a plan.
StartupRanking has been a ‘where is this startup ranked’ page for years. Journalists almost never use it as a primary source anymore; crawlers still find the profiles. Register, fill facts, move on.
