# Submit your tool to Launch Ranking

> Launch Ranking is a launch leaderboard where products go live at 8:00 UTC and are ranked by upvotes and comments. The free launch needs the site's badge on your homepage; paid launches skip the free queue.

## Is Launch Ranking worth it?

Worth it if you can add a badge to your site or spend $9.90. Listings checked in November 2026 had a plain rel=noopener link to the product, while one older listing carried nofollow, so verify the badge and check your own page after launch. Expect a small, maker-heavy audience. Skip the SEO and DR packages unless you have read exactly what they include.

## Who should submit to Launch Ranking?

Suits indie makers, SaaS founders and AI tool builders who want a cheap launch day and a backlink. The feed is full of AI tools and other makers, so it is weak for reaching paying customers outside that circle. Not a fit if you cannot edit your homepage HTML and do not want to pay.

## What you need before you submit

- An account (Google, GitHub or email)
- Product name, URL and short description
- Square logo and a product image
- The site's badge on your homepage for the free launch
- A verified backlink before a free launch goes live

## How to submit

1. Sign up and open /projects/submit
2. Fill in product info, categories and tech stack
3. Pick Free, Premium or Premium Plus
4. For free, add the badge to your site and run the backlink check
5. Choose a launch date and wait for 8:00 UTC on launch day
6. Share the project page to collect upvotes and comments

## Pros

- Free launch with a dofollow link once the badge is verified
- Premium costs only $9.90 per launch
- Limited daily slots, so each launch gets homepage time
- Top weekly projects go into the newsletter
- Permanent project page

## Cons

- Free lane needs a badge on your site
- Free queue can take up to 28 days
- Audience is mostly other makers
- Heavy upsells for DR and SEO packages
- FAQ and homepage describe the cadence differently (daily vs weekly)

## Tips

- Add the badge before you submit so the check passes on the first try
- Pick a date far enough out to prepare a short launch post
- Ask existing users to upvote and comment on launch day
- After launch, view the page source and confirm the rel on your link
- Ignore the DR Booster unless you have checked the sites it lists
