Is FastLaunch worth it?
Worth it if you take the badge lane or pay $9.90: both get a followed link, checked in November 2026. The plain free lane gets nofollow unless the product finishes in the day's top three. Free launches can be scheduled up to 365 days out, so the badge or Premium lane is the practical choice if you want a near date. Expect modest traffic; use it as one more launch day and backlink, not a main channel.
Who should submit to FastLaunch?
Suits indie makers and small SaaS or AI teams who want a cheap dated launch with a followed link and can place a badge on their site. Less useful for anyone who will not show a badge and does not want to pay, since the free lane link is nofollow for most products. The site publishes no traffic figures.
