Is ScrollLaunch worth it?
A reasonable free launch for indie makers if you accept a badge on your site, since the free link turns nofollow without it. Premium at $39 once makes the link permanently followed, adds a blog post with links and skips the weekly cap. Pick a week with fewer launches, prepare a logo and short tagline, and share the product page on launch day to collect upvotes. The extra paid services (ads, newsletter, directory submission) are optional.
Who should submit to ScrollLaunch?
Suits indie hackers, solo founders and small SaaS or AI tool makers looking for a weekly launch with a followed link. It does not suit teams that will not place a badge and do not want to pay, or B2B products aimed at enterprise buyers rather than other makers.
