LaunchIt
launchit.fastLaunchIt is a launch platform for all kinds of startups, including 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 LaunchIt cost?
Listing on LaunchIt is free, as long as you link back to them from your site, with paid options from $14.99.
Basic Launch is free, but the FAQ says it requires both a backlink to LaunchIt and its badge on the submitter's site before approval. It waits in the standard review queue; when checked on 2026-10-29, the earliest free slot shown was Tue, Dec 29. Free listings have no verified badge, highlighted card, social post, or guaranteed exposure.

Does LaunchIt give a dofollow backlink?
LaunchIt links to your site with a dofollow link, the kind Google may count toward your site's authority.
Its Ahrefs Domain Rating is 59. Part of that comes from sites that link back to it in exchange for a listing, so it likely overstates what its link is worth to you (why).
Who gets into LaunchIt, and how fast?
Submissions are reviewed first, and most products that fit get in.
New listings are shown to its audience: on the homepage, in a newsletter or on social media.
On 2026-10-29, Premium's earliest displayed launch was the next day, Fri, Oct 30; the earliest free slot was Tue, Dec 29. No exact moderation duration is stated. Separate paid written reviews are said to publish in 2–3 days, and directory packages to finish in 3–5 business days after starting within one business day.
How much traffic does LaunchIt get?
Similarweb doesn't rank launchit.fast, which usually means very few visitors.
What LaunchIt says about its audience: LaunchIt claims 329,000+ listing views, 985+ clicks to founder websites, 500 products, and Ahrefs DR 61. The pricing page states 1,735 newsletter subscribers; the submit page says 1,700+.
