Which one to use
Pick IndieLaunch for a free launch if you are happy to keep its badge on your site for a dofollow link, or for a Premium launch while it still costs a few dollars (from $2.99, rising as spots sell).
Pick IndieNeed for a dofollow link without a badge on your site: any paid plan includes one, and a free listing can add one for $7, one-time.
You don't have to pick one. Many makers list on several sites; a listing on IndieNeed is free and doesn't stop you launching anywhere else.
