Conditional free route directory
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
- All submissions must pass a safety and quality review before anything (free or paid) is published
- Free publishing happens 'through free self-serve options, including community votes or website link verification, when available from the project status page' — availability is not guaranteed
Requirements
- Niche website/project with a real domain (listings key off the site's domain and stack)
- Rejected content: adult, gambling, phishing, scams, malware, illegal activity, and harmful/misleading sites
- Account required (Login/Signup in nav; submit at /projects/new)
Prepare before opening the form
- Project name, domain/URL, description, topic tags, and tech stack (Stacks is a first-class browse facet: Next.js, Cloudflare, WordPress, etc.)
- Optional $19 for Featured placement (one year) — 'does not guarantee traffic, clicks, rankings, leads, or sales'
Workflow
- Create an account at /signup
- Go to /projects/new and submit the project
- Pass the safety/quality review
- Publish free via community votes or link verification (from the project status page when available), or pay $19 for Featured placement (one year)
Watch for
- Free publish options are 'when available' — the guaranteed path is review + $19
- Featured placement lasts one year, not permanent
- Directory mixes topics and stacks — accurate stack tagging affects discoverability
- Contact: [email protected] (obfuscated on the page)
What counts as live
Project appears in 'Recently submitted'/'Latest projects' or its topic/stack page on launchtory.com with a details link
Not verified
- Exact free-verification mechanics (what 'community votes' or 'link verification' concretely require)
- Review timeline
- Whether free listings are dofollow
