EarlyHunt
earlyhunt.comEarlyHunt is a launch platform for AI tools, design tools, developer tools, mobile apps, no-code tools, and SaaS. We went through its submission pages in October 2026: what it costs, the link you get, who gets in and how to submit.
How much does EarlyHunt cost?
Listing on EarlyHunt is free, as long as you link back to them from your site, with paid options from $29.
Free launches require a link to EarlyHunt on the maker's website before scheduling. A supplied badge or a simple text link works; verification is described as automatic and instant. Links are nofollow by default. A free project can earn dofollow links and a winner badge if it finishes in the top 3 and the backlink remains on the maker's site. Free launches use the standard queue and are limited to 15 slots per week; review is typically 24–48 hours.

- Weekly competition entry and launch blog post

Does EarlyHunt give a dofollow backlink?
