# Submit your tool to Launch01

> Launch01 is a launch feed on the DirEasy directory script where projects go live at 8:00 UTC. The free launch needs the site's badge and a Domain Rating of 5 or more; paid launches from $9.90 skip the queue, and an Outbid board sells homepage spots from $10.

## Is Launch01 worth it?

Worth it only as a quick backlink if you accept a badge on your site. The free lane can take up to 84 days and the badge is mandatory, so it costs a footer slot, not money. The $9.90 Premium Launch is the sensible paid option if you want a date. Expect little real traffic: the feed mixes software with local services and other link sellers. Skip the DR Booster upsell unless you have checked the network sites yourself.

## Who should submit to Launch01?

Suits indie makers and small SaaS or AI tool teams collecting early backlinks who do not mind showing a third party badge. Not a fit for teams that will not place badges on their site, for products below the minimum Domain Rating (DR 5 on the free lane), or for anyone looking for buyers or feedback rather than a link. It is one of many near identical DirEasy sites, so do not count it as a separate audience.

## What you need before you submit

- A live public website
- A square logo and a landscape product image
- The Launch01 badge on your site, verified by the site
- Domain Rating of at least 5 for the free launch
- An account (Google, GitHub or email)

## How to submit

1. Sign up with Google, GitHub or email
2. Open launch01.com/projects/submit
3. Add name, URL, description, logo and product image
4. Pick categories
5. Add the badge to your site and verify it, or choose a paid plan
6. Wait for your launch date; launches go live at 8:00 UTC

## Pros

- Free option exists
- Product links on badge verified or paid listings had no nofollow when checked
- Paid launch is cheap at $9.90
- Listings stay up permanently, per the pricing page

## Cons

- Badge required for the free lane
- Free queue of up to 84 days
- Some listings carry rel nofollow
- Feed mixes software with unrelated local businesses
- Heavy upsells for DR packages

## Tips

- Verify the badge right after submitting or the free launch will not move
- Keep the badge live, since the link depends on it
- Use a clean landscape image; it is the main visual on the card
- Treat this as one entry in the DirEasy network, not many separate audiences
- The Outbid board is an auction for homepage spots; skip it unless you track clicks
