Better Launch
Conditional free route launch-board
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- Free plan launches only on a Monday you pick at least 30 days out — a real queue/wait
- Free-plan backlink is nofollow; it becomes dofollow only if you add their badge to your site or win the weekly ranking
- Skip-the-line for $9, or paid plans ($19-$159) launch any day with a lifetime dofollow link
Requirements
- Account required — /submit shows only a sign-in/create-account wall to anonymous visitors
- A real product to launch; listed on homepage for 7 days under the free plan
- Public product page and profile created as part of the launch
Prepare before opening the form
- Product name, URL, description, logo/assets for the product page
- A launch-date plan: free tier = pick a Monday ≥30 days out
- Optional: their badge HTML if you want the free link upgraded to dofollow
Workflow
- Create an account / sign in at betterlaunch.co
- Open /submit and pick a plan (Free, Starter $19, Pro $49, Ultra $159, or $219 bundle with 120+ directory submissions done for you)
- Fill product details and schedule/launch
- Free tier: wait for the scheduled Monday; paid: launch instantly or any day
- Add their badge or win the week to convert the free nofollow link to dofollow
Watch for
- Free tier's 30+ day Monday-only scheduling is a long wait — plan around it
- Nofollow link on free tier unless badge added or weekly win
- Heavy featured/pinned upsell ladder ($19→$159) plus a done-for-you directory bundle
- Self-reported 'DR 61+' claim for the dofollow link — not independently verified
What counts as live
The product has a public product page on betterlaunch.co and appears in the homepage launch list on its scheduled day
Not verified
- How the weekly 'win' is determined (upvotes? editorial?)
- Whether free launches get any newsletter exposure (newsletter is Pro+)
- Badge requirements/placement for the dofollow upgrade
