Now live — every launch is free

Promote your startup free

No ad budget? No audience? A permanent listing with built-in distribution costs free.

The short answer

Free startup promotion works through recurring product directories (OnlyFoundrs, AlternativeTo), launch communities (Show HN, Product Hunt, Indie Hackers), relevant subreddits and Discord servers, and founder-written content. A free live listing first means every later promotion compounds instead of decaying to zero.

Free forever. Live in minutes — no queue, no review.

how long a free listing stays live

Most 'free' promotion channels are pay-to-play

Directories charge $29–$99 for the features that actually drive traffic. Social requires an audience. Ads require budget. 'Free promotion' lists online are mostly dead sites and spam farms that hurt your SEO more than they help.

FAQ

What does the free tier cover?

The listing, slug URL, votes, comments, waitlist collection, feed distribution, category ranking, and instant launch. Pro ($5/mo) adds boost placement and analytics.

Will a basic listing rank?

Yes — ranking is by community votes, not payment. Free listings regularly outrank featured ones.

Do I need a website already?

A product URL is enough — your OnlyFoundrs page can serve as the landing page while you build.

How do I promote without an audience?

That's the point — the platform routes your product to buyer communities instead of relying on your reach.
