Is LaunchBoosts worth it?
An easy free listing: no badge, no payment, live the same minute. The default link is nofollow, so the SEO value depends on reaching the podium or getting an editor upgrade. Vote counts are tiny (a recent weekly winner had 3 votes), so a few genuine upvotes from your users can put you in the top 3. Submit early in the week, since the race closes Sunday midnight UTC.

Suits indie makers of AI tools and SaaS who want a quick free listing and can rally a handful of votes. Not for anyone expecting real traffic: the site's own most-viewed tool of the month showed 43 unique visitors. Also not for makers who want a guaranteed followed link.
