Is Launch List worth it?
A decent pick for a small launch with a followed link. Product pages link out with rel noopener noreferrer, so the link is followed, including for low vote products. Free costs a badge and three upvotes for other launches. Featured at $9 (listed as down from $19) is cheap if you want a week above the ranking. Pick a week where you can rally a few upvotes, since the top three get winner badges.
Who should submit to Launch List?
Suits indie makers and small SaaS or AI products that want a launch moment plus a followed link without spending much. Not a fit for those who want a passive directory listing, since the format rewards showing up during your week. The audience is mostly other makers, so expect peers rather than buyers.
