Conditional free route launch-board
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- Free listing requires embedding the LaunchBoard badge on your site
- Free tier gets homepage placement for launch week but a dofollow backlink only if the product wins the weekly #1
- No AI blog generation on the free plan; launch is queued into the weekly batch (max 25/week) after a quality review
Requirements
- Indie maker / SaaS product with a working website
- Badge embed for free launches
- Products launch in weekly batches every Monday at 03:30 UTC
Prepare before opening the form
- Product name, description, category, tags, website URL, and maker info
- LaunchBoard badge placed on your site (free route)
- Optional: $19 Single Launch (instant approval, permanent DR50+ dofollow, 1 AI blog post ~1,500 words) or $39 Launch Pack (5 credits, never expire)
Workflow
- Submit the product with name/description/category/tags/site/maker info and choose free or paid
- Get queued into the next weekly batch (max 25 products/week); quality review happens before launch
- Launch Monday 03:30 UTC on the homepage leaderboard
- Winner = upvotes + comments; ties break on upvotes then earliest launch time
Watch for
- Free-plan dofollow only materialises if you win the week — otherwise the badge is a one-way link
- No refunds after submission; unused Launch Pack credits stay in the account
- Paid plans are one-time payments (no subscription)
- Site is unusually agent-friendly: llms.txt, llms-full.txt, /api/ai JSON snapshot, and Accept: text/markdown or .md on any URL
