Now live — every launch is free

Product launch sites, ranked by what they actually deliver

Launch-day spikes vs. permanent distribution — know the difference before you pick.

The short answer

Product launch sites fall into two groups: launch-day events (Product Hunt, BetaList, Show HN) that spike for about 24 hours, and live directories (OnlyFoundrs, AlternativeTo, There's An AI For That) that keep routing buyers afterward. Use events for the spike and directories for the compounding.

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

Most launch sites are slot machines

Product Hunt gives you 24 hours against 50 other launches. BetaList charges $1,499 for a week. Niche directories queue you for months then bury you. The launch-site meta is optimized for the platform's feed refresh rate, not your growth.

Launch where the listing outlives the launch

Use launch-day platforms for the spike if you want one — but keep a permanent listing as your base. OnlyFoundrs gives you a forever slug page, feed distribution, vote compounding, and verified-live status. The launch spike decays; the listing compounds.

01

Permanent base + spike elsewhere

Keep your canonical listing here; use Product Hunt/Reddit for bursts that point back to it.

02

Votes that don't reset

Unlike daily-leaderboard sites, your ranking accumulates permanently.

03

Verified live

Dead-product graveyards hurt everyone — automated checks keep the directory clean.

04

Free tier is complete

Listing, slug URL, feed routing, votes, waitlist, instant launch — all covered by the $5/mo. Pro adds promotion and analytics on top.

FAQ

Should I still launch on Product Hunt?

If you can prep a launch-day push, yes — it's a spike. But point that spike at a permanent listing so the traffic has somewhere to land after day one.

What's the best launch site for indie products?

For permanence and cost: a free OnlyFoundrs listing. For a one-day spike: Product Hunt. For beta users: mark your listing upcoming and collect signups.

How much does launching cost here?

$5/mo and instant, or $5/mo for boost placement and analytics.

When should I list?

The earlier the better — listings compound votes and search authority over time.
