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 listing requires an email+password account (no Google/GitHub sign-in) AND upvoting at least 3 other products on the homepage before the launch form renders — votes are public under your name
Requirements
- Accepts SaaS, AI tools, dev tools, open source, side projects — a live product URL is required
- Form fields: product name, URL, description, category (13 to pick from), tags (each must be committed as a chip with Enter or it doesn't count)
- No review: publishing is instant; no published submission guidelines exist
Prepare before opening the form
- A real password — email+password only, no OAuth
- Product name, URL, description, category choice, tag list
- Be ready to upvote 3 existing products (public, under your account name)
- Optionally $29 for Product Sponsor (30 days: sitewide sidebar, above-leaderboard placement, shoutout to their claimed 35k followers, and the only dofollow link)
Workflow
- Create an account at https://www.launchvibe.app/signup (free, no credit card)
- Upvote 3 products on the homepage — this unlocks the submit form
- Fill the launch form (name, URL, description, category, tags-as-chips) and publish — it goes live instantly, no review
- Listing gets overview/discussion/feedback tabs and sits on the all-time upvote leaderboard (~1,200 launches)
- Optional: buy the $29 Product Sponsor slot for 30 days of sitewide placement + the only dofollow link
Watch for
- Free listing links are NOFOLLOW (verified: rel=noopener noreferrer nofollow) despite 'quality backlinks' marketing — only the $29 sponsor is dofollow
- Ranking is lifetime upvotes with no time window — a new launch competes with all ~1,200 past launches; daily/weekly boards are promised but not shipped
- The 3-upvote gate is a traffic scheme, not quality control
- Tag list is unmoderated junk (opens with '##', '#.', '#.97') — your product gets filed among that
- Tag field quirk: each tag must be committed as a chip with Enter — uncommitted text silently doesn't count
What counts as live
The launch page is reachable on launchvibe.app with its overview/discussion/feedback tabs and appears on the upvote leaderboard
Not verified
- Whether the promised daily/weekly leaderboards shipped after the field report
- Actual traffic delivered to listings
- Sponsor slot current price/availability beyond $29/30d
