Is CodeHype worth it?
A reasonable free launch for AI and SaaS products. Each launch is reviewed by a person. The free link is dofollow only while a verified CodeHype badge stays on your site, re-checked every 3 days; without it the link is nofollow. Plus at $15 gives a permanent dofollow link, no badge and your chosen date, which is fair value if you do not want a badge. Pro at $25 adds 7 days on the homepage and a blog post. Book a date when you can share the launch and ask for upvotes.
Who should submit to CodeHype?
Suits makers of AI tools, agents, APIs, SaaS and developer tools with a working product. Non-AI software is accepted per the site. It does not suit pre-launch waitlists, pitch decks or placeholder pages, which the guidelines exclude. Founders who will not add a badge and will not pay get only a nofollow link.
