Is EasyLaunch worth it?
A cheap, low-effort backlink rather than a traffic source. Listing pages link to the product with rel=noopener only, so the link is followed. The free lane costs a badge on your site and a wait for an open day, which was about a week in November 2026. If you do not want the badge, $15 once is a fair price for a followed link and 48 hours pinned at the top. Do not expect many visitors; the site says it has had 2,913 visitors since launch.
Who should submit to EasyLaunch?
Suits indie makers and small SaaS, AI and developer tool teams who want a quick listing and a followed link with little effort. Not for anyone hoping for launch-day traffic, feedback or community discussion, since there is no voting and no comments. Also a poor fit if you refuse to show third-party badges and do not want to pay.
What you need before you submit
