Conditional free route launch-board

What the free route requires

Free launch requires adding a verified dofollow backlink to LaunchVault on your site — 'Verify in one click, then pick your launch date'
Premium $19.99/launch (displayed struck-through to $9.99) removes the backlink requirement, skips the free queue, and guarantees a permanent DR46 dofollow backlink

Sign in/sign up required
Launches happen at 8:00 AM UTC in daily batches ('limited number of projects each day')
Free-tier verification is a real dofollow link, one-click verified

Project name, URL, description, categories (very broad taxonomy incl. SaaS, AI, dev tools, edtech, fintech, health)
Logo and long description (launches display multi-paragraph copy)
Dofollow link to launchvault.dev placed on your site for the free route, or $9.99–19.99 for Premium

Free plan demands a *dofollow* backlink to them — stronger than a badge image; the link must pass their checker
Premium price shown as '$9.99 $19.99' — strike-through sale pricing, treat the real charge as shown at checkout
Sponsor slots (Hero $79/mo, Sidebar $39/mo) are separate paid upsells
Site is 'Powered by Open-Launch' — same engine family as several other boards, expect similar mechanics
Pricing copy leans hard on FOMO ('Every week you wait is a week of search traffic')

Project appears in 'Top Projects Launching Today' on launchvault.dev on its launch date with its own listing page Google can index

Length of the free queue ('launch in days, not months' for paid implies the free queue is long)
Whether free listings persist permanently like paid ones
