SubmitHunt
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.
Requirements
- Account/login required — the submit form is only reachable while signed in
- Two-step form: (1) basic product info — name, URL, slug, description, category, X username; (2) launch plan selection + launch date picker
- No logo/screenshot upload and no long-description or tags fields in the form per the third-party field report
Prepare before opening the form
- Account credentials
- Product name, URL, preferred slug, description, category, X/Twitter username
- A target launch date
Workflow
- Sign up / log in on submithunt.com
- Open the submit form
- Step 1: enter name, URL, slug, description, category, X username
- Step 2: pick the launch plan (Free) and a launch date
- Submit — confirmation reads 'Startup Submitted Successfully! ... added to the queue and will be featured soon'
Watch for
- The homepage renders almost nothing to non-JS fetches — only sponsor links; the app is client-rendered, so verify pages in a real browser
- Third-party sources conflict on cost: Smol Launch and LaunchDirectories list it as Free + Dofollow, while SaaSCity's directory list marks it 'Paid' and AllDirectories calls it a 'paid directory' with a described free plan — treat pricing as unstable
- Choosing a non-free launch plan in step 2 may add charges — confirm the selected plan before submitting
What counts as live
The product is featured on the SubmitHunt home page / launch listing after its queued launch date.
Not verified
- Whether a real free tier still exists (directory aggregators disagree)
- Launch queue length and review process
- Whether outbound links are dofollow on the free plan
