Free route directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- Free submission via the 'Submit' button -> /submit — 'Once reviewed, your tool will be listed… completely free. No hidden fees or paywalls'
- Product should fit the AI-tools/startup directory audience
- Dedicated product page (hero images, FAQs, similar tools, comments) requires 7+ community upvotes and a thumbnail
- Paid options: 'Featured' membership (badge + priority placement) and 'Instant Launch' one-time add-on to skip the free review wait — see /pricing
- Optional newsletter feature to 55k+ subs is earned via engagement/editorial fit, or paid via /newsletter-ads
- REST API + MCP server exist for agents (search catalog, launch-readiness audit, open a listing draft) — agents can't publish; founders finish at /submit
Prepare before opening the form
- Product name, tagline, description, URL, thumbnail
- Plan to drive early upvotes — 7+ upvotes + thumbnail unlock the full product page
Workflow
- Click Submit -> tools.launchllama.co/submit and fill the form
- Free listing goes through review on a rolling basis (site says daily updates); Instant Launch skips the wait
- Once live, drive upvotes/comments to qualify for the dedicated product page and potential free newsletter feature
- Optional: buy Featured placement or a newsletter ad
Watch for
- Self-described 'world's first full-stack distribution channel' — marketing claims (55k founders, DA72 backlink, GEO/AEO) are unverified; modest actual authority likely
- Free newsletter features are editorial picks, not guaranteed
- Featured/Instant Launch pricing lives on /pricing — not captured in detail
- Young independent product ('by Tom Otto') — treat as a small directory, not a major launch venue
What counts as live
The tool appears in the directory at tools.launchllama.co/products/<slug>
Not verified
- Actual reach/newsletter engagement — claims unverified
- Review turnaround on free submissions
