ScrollLaunch alternative: IndieNeed vs ScrollLaunch
ScrollLaunch is a weekly launch board with a free launch and a one-time Premium upgrade. IndieNeed, which we run, is a daily launch board with a product page that stays up. Here is how they differ, with ScrollLaunch's side checked on its own page on .
| Detail | IndieNeed | ScrollLaunch |
|---|---|---|
| Launch format | Daily launch board, plus a product page that stays up | Weekly leaderboard with 25 free slots a week |
| Cost | Free listing; paid plans $15-$120, one-time | Free; Premium $39 per product, one-time |
| Website link | Free listings are nofollow. Any paid plan ($15-$120, one-time) includes a dofollow link, and a free listing can add one for $3, one-time. A followed link is not a promise of a higher ranking. | Free: the product-page link is dofollow only while its badge stays on your site. Premium: always dofollow. Feed and archive links are nofollow |
| Badge | Not required | Needed on a free launch to keep the link dofollow |
| Wait | Free listings are reviewed, then get the next open free launch day. Paid plans publish right away and can pick the day | Not stated; free launches share 25 slots a week and Premium skips that cap |
When ScrollLaunch is the better pick
Pick ScrollLaunch for a week-long launch window, if you are happy to keep its badge on your site so the free link stays dofollow, or pay $39 once for an always-dofollow link.
When IndieNeed is the better pick
Pick IndieNeed if you would rather not add a badge to your site: none is needed, and the dofollow link comes with any paid plan or for $3 on a free listing.
