OpenHunts
openhunts.comOpenHunts is a launch platform for all kinds of startups, including AI tools, design tools, developer 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 OpenHunts cost?
Listing on OpenHunts is free if you wait your turn, with paid options from $9.90.
Free Launch has 20 slots weekly and a current queue of about 60 weeks. A badge is not mandatory for the regular free queue; optional badge verification can get a product scheduled sooner, but requires a normal link to OpenHunts on the submitted public HTTPS page. OpenHunts says it checks the badge periodically and may hide the listing if it is removed. The free listing receives a dofollow backlink only if it ranks in the top 3, and a Twitter/newsletter shoutout if it ranks #1. Badge verification does not guarantee product approval.
