Is LaunchIt worth it?
A reasonable free listing if you are fine adding a link to LaunchIt on your site and can wait, since the site says the earliest free slot is about two months away. The product link is followed. Traffic is small: the site's own stats show about 1,072 website clicks across 556 products, so treat it as a backlink and a permanent page, not a launch day spike. Premium at $24.99 removes the badge and the wait.
Who should submit to LaunchIt?
Suits indie makers, SaaS and AI tool founders who want a permanent followed link and are collecting listings across many directories. Not a good fit if you need real launch day traffic or signups, or if you cannot place a link to LaunchIt on your site and do not want to pay. The site rejects poorly designed sites, duplicates, custom GPTs, spam and NSFW products.
