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 launch sits in a 30-day queue — OR embed the ProductWatch badge on your website to skip the queue AND get a featured spot on launch day
- Free tier includes a permanent 72 DR do-follow backlink
Requirements
- Account sign-in required ('+ Submit your product' → sign in)
- Product fits categories like AI, Productivity, SaaS, Web App, Developer Tools, Marketing, Design Tools, API
Prepare before opening the form
- Product details, URL, category, logo/screenshots
- ProductWatch badge embedded if you want the free queue-skip + featured spot
- Paid options: Priority Pass (price not shown in fetched text, '/launch' one-time) → instant go-live, top featured spot, 5-upvote head start, 2x upvote multiplier, newsletter features; Promoted = custom sponsored placement via email contact
Workflow
- Sign in, then open '+ Submit your product' (/product/create)
- Complete product details
- Free: wait 30 days in queue, or verify the badge to launch immediately with a featured spot
- Priority Pass: pay once to go live instantly with the upvote multiplier and newsletter features
Watch for
- Badge on free = queue skip AND featured spot — unusually strong free-tier perk if you accept the badge
- Priority Pass grants a 5-upvote advantage and 2x multiplier — paid launches are structurally favoured in rankings
- Priority Pass price was not rendered in the fetched page text
- Daily/weekly/monthly 'Award Winners' leaderboards exist — ranking matters for extra visibility
What counts as live
Product appears under /products/<slug> and in Launches (/launches/day) on its launch day with upvotes/comments active
Not verified
- Priority Pass price (rendered client-side)
- Badge markup and verification method
- Whether badge-free free listings still get the dofollow link after the 30-day wait (page implies yes: 'Free … permanent 72 DR do-follow backlink')
