What Launched Today
Conditional free route launch-board
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-26. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
What the free route requires
- Launch submission goes through account signup → /dashboard/submit — the free/paid split wasn't visible on the rendered page (pricing section didn't render; 'Advertise — Get featured today' placements are clearly paid)
- Standard launch listings appear free/self-serve; paid 'Advertise' spots (14 slots, '4/14 left') buy homepage featuring
Requirements
- An account (sign up at /auth/signup, redirected to /dashboard/submit)
- A launched product: name, logo, tagline, description, website URL, tags/categories
- Daily launch cycle — there's a countdown timer ('Time until next launch'); launches batch daily
Prepare before opening the form
- Logo, tagline, and description (note: links inside listing descriptions render with rel=nofollow)
- Website URL for the 'Visit website' button
- Category + tag selection (AI, SEO, Productivity, Design, etc.)
Workflow
- Sign up at whatlaunched.today/auth/signup (return URL targets /dashboard/submit)
- Complete the launch form in the dashboard
- The launch enters the daily cycle; it appears under 'Just Launched'/All Launches and is eligible for Daily/Weekly/Monthly winner rankings by upvotes
- Optional: buy an 'Advertise / Get featured' slot for homepage rotation
Watch for
- Links embedded in the description are rel=nofollow — the SEO value hinges on whether 'Visit website' and profile links are followed (verify on a live page)
- Account required — no anonymous submission
- Small site; low upvote counts observed (single digits) — traffic expectations should be modest
- Pricing page anchor exists but the section didn't render in the fetch — confirm free vs paid terms on the live form before assuming
What counts as live
The launch has a public detail page on whatlaunched.today appearing in 'All Launches'/'Just Launched' with a working 'Visit website' link
Not verified
- Whether submission is fully free or gated behind a plan (pricing section failed to render)
- Whether the primary outbound link is dofollow
- Review/approval delay for new launches
