Is FridayHunt worth it?
Useful as a cheap extra launch day, but not as a traffic source: most listings checked showed 0 upvotes. The free listing link is nofollow, and a free dofollow link needs a top 3 finish plus their badge on your site. The $10 Premium launch is the simpler path if you want a guaranteed dofollow link and a homepage spot. Book early, since free slots are limited.
Who should submit to FridayHunt?
Suits indie hackers, solo founders and small SaaS or AI teams who want one more launch listing at low cost. It is not a fit if you need real user feedback or meaningful launch day traffic, since engagement on recent launches was very low. The site also lists non-software businesses, so the audience is broad.
