Submit your tool to InstantLaunch

A launch directory where listings go live immediately with no review queue after you create an account. Free listings start nofollow and become dofollow after badge verification, while paid one-time plans get dofollow links at once.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free (badge for dofollow), or $5 once

Is InstantLaunch worth it?

Useful mainly as a cheap, fast backlink. At $5 once you get a followed link with no badge, which is simpler than the free route. Do not expect an audience: the site says it has 50 live launches, and the feed mixes software with unrelated listings. Premium+ at $13 adds a ListBulb listing, which is a separate directory from the same owner.

Who should submit to InstantLaunch?

Suits SaaS, AI and dev tool makers who want a quick followed link for a few dollars, or for free with a badge. Not a fit for anyone looking for launch-day traffic, feedback or votes, or for makers who prefer curated directories where a person reviews every listing.

What you need before you submit

  • An account on the site
  • A live product URL
  • Tagline, description, logo and screenshots
  • For a dofollow free listing: the InstantLaunch badge on your site

How to submit to InstantLaunch

  1. Create an account, since /submit redirects signed-out visitors
  2. Fill the product details and upload a logo and screenshots
  3. Choose Free, Premium, Premium+ or Featured
  4. Publish, which puts the listing live at once
  5. For the free plan, add the badge and verify it to switch the link to dofollow
