What a LaunchIgniter listing includes

LaunchIgniter is a launch board. Weekly launch platform where products are featured on the homepage for seven days and voted on by makers. When we checked on November 2, 2026, the cost was: Free $0; Basic $12; Pro $15; Growth $99 (one-time).

Launches start Monday 00:00 UTC and run seven days; each product can launch once.

Link type, and how we know

Link type on a free (or the only) listing: Nofollow. We read it on the site's own pricing, FAQ or submit page, or from the rel attribute on the link a public listing gives the listed product.

Conditions: Free: dofollow only for the weekly top 3, otherwise nofollow ugc. Paid (from $12): lifetime dofollow

The pages we opened on November 2, 2026:

A nofollow, sponsored or UGC link tells search engines not to count it as a vote; a plain (dofollow) link can be counted. Either way, a listing is worth more for the people who see it than for the link.

Who LaunchIgniter suits

LaunchIgniter suits weekly launches with cheap paid dofollow options. It covers Startup, and its audience is worldwide. Review time, as stated: Free: manual review, waiting period, date not guaranteed; paid: no waiting period.

We have no visits from LaunchIgniter in our own analytics since Aug 18, 2026. That says nothing about what it would send you.

What to prepare before you submit

Most directories ask for the same things. Have them ready and the form takes a few minutes. Read LaunchIgniter's own rules on its site before submitting; they can change.

  • A one-line tagline that says what the product does
  • A short description: who it is for and what they can try first
  • A square logo and two or three screenshots
  • A working website, with a sign-up or demo a visitor can reach

Track what LaunchIgniter sends you

Use this as your website link on LaunchIgniter, with your own domain in place of yourproduct.com. Your analytics will then show visits and sign-ups from this listing on their own.
