Is LaunchLeague worth it?
A reasonable free option for indie founders who will show up every week, vote for others and keep a badge live. The outbound link checked was followed, but the community is small, so expect a few visits rather than a traffic spike. Complete your founder profile first, since voting stays locked without a name and bio, and re-enter on Mondays when you are not benched by the top 20 rule.
Who should submit to LaunchLeague?
Suits indie hackers, solo founders and early SaaS or AI products that want a recurring, low-effort listing and are fine signing in with Google. It does not suit teams that want a one-off listing with no weekly upkeep, people without a Google account, or anyone who cannot add a badge to their homepage.
What you need before you submit
- A Google account, the only sign-in option
- A founder profile with first name, last name and bio
- A live website URL
- Product name, tagline, square logo and cover image
- Their badge on your homepage
How to submit to LaunchLeague
- Sign in with Google

- Re-enter each Monday with one click
