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.

A company profile here supports recruiting and a public existence. It will not launch a consumer product.
Wellfound (formerly AngelList Talent) is how many startups hire and how many candidates still discover companies. A complete profile with a real launch post in the updates feed is useful. It is not a hunter board.
