Pro Launch
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 is nofollow — adding the Pro Launch badge to your site converts it to a dofollow backlink at no cost
- 25 free slots weekly, standard launch queue
Requirements
- Account required: Google, GitHub, or email sign-in before /projects/submit
- Launches happen at 8:00 AM UTC in weekly batches
Prepare before opening the form
- Project name, URL, description, category, logo
- Badge on your site if you want free-tier dofollow
- Plan: Free $0 / Startup $7.99 per launch (guaranteed dofollow, earlier dates, up to 90-day scheduling, 1 relaunch after 30-day cooldown) / Premium $39.99 (dedicated '[Product] review' SEO article, premium spotlight, 5 relaunches that keep upvotes/comments/ranking)
- Optional add-ons: Sponsored Listing $59.99/month, guest post $29.99 one-time
Workflow
- Sign in, open /projects/submit
- Choose plan and pick a launch date (up to 90 days out on paid)
- Free: place the badge so the listing earns dofollow
- Launch in the 8:00 AM UTC batch; homepage feature + community engagement
Watch for
- Free tier is nofollow WITHOUT the badge — the badge is doing the SEO work
- Premium's headline value is the dedicated SEO article; check the published review examples for quality
- Relaunch economics: Startup gets 1 relaunch (30-day cooldown), Premium gets 5 with preserved engagement
- Badge Terms page exists (/legal/badges) — read it for removal conditions
- Footer is saturated with reciprocal directory badges — typical badge-network profile
