Submit your tool to LaunchIgniter

LaunchIgniter is a weekly launch board: products launch on Monday 00:00 UTC, stay on the homepage for 7 days, and the top 3 by upvotes win a Winner badge. Free launches need a badge and review; paid launches skip the queue.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free with a badge, or $12, $15 or $99 once

Is LaunchIgniter worth it?

The paid Basic launch at $12 is cheap for a guaranteed date and a permanent followed link, and Pro at $15 adds listings on StartupTrusted and SaaSGrow from the same operator. The free route only gives a followed link to the weekly top 3, so for most products it is a nofollow listing in exchange for a badge. Launch when you can bring upvotes, since the Winner badge depends on them.

Who should submit to LaunchIgniter?

Suits indie makers and small SaaS, AI, developer and mobile app teams who want a low cost launch and a backlink. It does not suit teams expecting large traffic, or anyone who wants a free followed link without ranking in the top 3. Each product can launch only once.
