## Is Solo Launches worth it?

Worth the $3 Premium launch if you want a dofollow link: free launches only get a followed link if they finish in the weekly top 3, and the free queue is very long (the site lists 1,097 scheduled launches). Premium guarantees the next launch week and a dofollow link regardless of rank. Launch on a week you can share the page, since upvotes decide the winners. The $19 and $39 boosts only make sense if you want extra homepage exposure.

## Who should submit to Solo Launches?

Suits indie hackers and solo SaaS founders who want a cheap launch with a followed link and some feedback from other makers. Less useful for teams expecting real buyer traffic, since most visitors are other founders, and for anyone unwilling to pay $3 who also cannot wait months for a free slot.

## What you need before you submit

- Sign in with Google or an email link

- Top 3 each week get a winner badge and a dofollow link
- Each product gets its own indexed page
