Submit your tool to LaunchAF

LaunchAF is a weekly launch board where founders post a new product, the community upvotes it, and each launch keeps a permanent product page with a link to the product's website.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free with badge, or $19 / $39 one-time

Is LaunchAF worth it?

Worth it for SaaS and AI makers who want a permanent dofollow link and a week on a launch leaderboard. The free route needs the LaunchAF badge on your site and a wait the site puts at 30+ days. The paid Alpha plan ($19, $9.99 in the November 2026 sale) publishes the same day with no badge. Paid launches always rank above free ones, so do not expect a free launch to top the weekly board. Treat it as one backlink and a small traffic source, not a launch day event.

Who should submit to LaunchAF?

Suits indie founders and small teams launching SaaS, AI tools, developer tools and productivity apps, mostly in English. The audience is other builders, so it works better for tools sold to founders and marketers than for consumer apps. Less useful if you want buyers in a specific industry, or if you refuse to place a badge and do not want to pay.

What you need before you submit

  • A live product website
  • Sign in with Google or an email code

  • No adult, gambling, crypto scam, parked or duplicate sites
