IndieNeed (indieneed.com) is a product discovery and launch platform for independent makers. It lists new SaaS, AI tools, apps, and startups so people can find them, upvote them, and review them.

How do I launch a product on IndieNeed?

Go to https://www.indieneed.com/submit and add your product. A free launch takes the open day you pick, from the earliest one the form shows (each day has a limited number of free spots). A person reviews it first; if your day fills up before approval, or approval comes after it, it launches on the next open day. A paid launch skips the review queue and goes live on the day you choose, today included. Paid plans also get featured homepage placement.

How much does it cost to launch on IndieNeed?

Free is $0. Starter is $15 for 7 days, Pro is $30 for 14 days, Premium is $60 for 14 days, and Ultimate is $120 for 30 days. Paid plans are one-time, not subscriptions.

Is IndieNeed a Product Hunt alternative?

IndieNeed is an independent launch directory for indie makers. Products get a lasting public page, votes, reviews, and optional featured placement. It is not affiliated with Product Hunt.

Where can I browse products on IndieNeed?

Browse live products at https://www.indieneed.com/products, today's launches at https://www.indieneed.com/launches/today, categories at https://www.indieneed.com/categories, and the leaderboard at https://www.indieneed.com/leaderboard.

Can AI systems cite IndieNeed?

Yes. Public pages may be read, summarised, and cited with a link to the canonical URL. Use https://www.indieneed.com/llms.txt and https://www.indieneed.com/llms-full.txt for a machine-readable index. Do not invent rankings, prices, or review scores.

What paid plans include

No traffic, ranking or sales guarantees.

Featured homepage placement, in short: one payment puts your product in the Featured strip at the top of the homepage and at the top of its category pages for the days below, with a featured label. Any product that follows our Terms can buy it; a paid launch skips the review queue, and any listing that breaks the Terms can still be unpublished. It never buys upvotes or rank.
