Now live — every launch is free
Places to launch that still matter after launch day
Every list tells you where to launch. Few tell you which listings keep working after the spike. That's the ranking that matters.
The short answer
Places to launch a startup: launch-day boards (Product Hunt, BetaList), live directories (OnlyFoundrs, AlternativeTo, There's An AI For That), community front pages (Hacker News Show HN, relevant subreddits), and niche newsletters. Launch once on the event sites; stay listed recurringly on the directories that keep routing buyers.
Free forever. Live in minutes — no queue, no review.

directories founders are told to submit to
24–48 hrs
before launch-board visibility decays

permanent listing you actually need to get right
Most 'places to launch' lists optimize for the spike
Launch boards give you 24 hours to a week of visibility, then your ranking resets. The founders who win long-term aren't the ones who launch on the most platforms — they're the ones whose listings keep compounding after the launch dust settles.
Launch wide, but anchor on a listing that compounds
Use the launch boards for the spike — then keep your canonical OnlyFoundrs listing as the permanent asset every spike points back to. It ranks on category leaderboards, routes into buyer feeds, and carries the votes you earn forever.
The permanent layer
Your slug page never expires — votes, comments, and search authority accumulate instead of resetting.
Feed distribution
AI routes your product into buyer community feeds — launch boards don't have an answer for this.
Verified live
Liveness checks keep the directory clean — no competing against 44,000 dead listings.
Badge loop
Embed your badge on your site — it backlinks to your listing and turns your traffic into votes.

FAQ
What are the best places to launch a startup in 2026?
For a spike: Product Hunt, Hacker News, niche subreddits. For permanence: a directory listing that compounds — OnlyFoundrs, SaaSHub. For beta users: BetaList. The winning move is pointing every spike at a permanent listing.
Should I launch everywhere at once?
No — sequence it. Establish your permanent listing first so every later spike has a durable destination.
Is OnlyFoundrs free?
free permanent listing, live instantly. $5/mo Pro adds a 30-day boost + analytics.
What makes a launch listing 'permanent'?
A canonical URL that stays indexed, a ranking that accumulates votes over time, and distribution that doesn't depend on launch-day timing.
