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 plan sits in a standard launch queue — 'Current queue estimate shown before submitting'
- Free plan includes homepage listing, social promotion, newsletter feature, chosen launch date, and verified badge, but no guaranteed dofollow backlink
- Pro ($39) adds a guaranteed high-authority backlink and skips the queue entirely
- Account sign-up required (Google, GitHub, or email+password)
- Maximum 1 launch per week across all plans
Requirements
- A product to launch — the platform targets 'vibe coders'/indie builders
- Account via Google, GitHub, or email
Prepare before opening the form
- Product name, URL, tagline/description, logo/icon, screenshots
- Preferred launch date
- Payment method (Stripe) only if choosing a paid tier
Workflow
- Sign up at https://trylaunch.ai/submit (Google, GitHub, or email)
- Choose plan — Free is reachable via /submit?plan=free
- Fill the launch form and pick a launch date
- Free launches wait out the queue; Pro launches same-day
- Product page goes live under /launch/<slug> and enters the homepage New Launches feed
Watch for
- Default /submit CTAs steer to paid Pro/Grow — the free lane is the /submit?plan=free link
- Grow ($199) is a directory-submission service, not a better listing
- Pass ($99/yr) covers unlimited launches but the 1-launch-per-week cap still applies
- Guaranteed dofollow backlink is paid-only
What counts as live
A public launch page exists at trylaunch.ai/launch/<slug> and the product appears in the New Launches feed
Not verified
- Current length of the free launch queue
- Whether free-tier outbound links are dofollow or nofollow
