How this directory works

Each row is read on the platform’s own pages: its pricing page, its submit form, its FAQ or its terms. We write down the value as the platform shows it, the page it was read on and the day, and the Sources link of each row opens those pages. Prices are the platform’s own, as displayed. MegaLaunch’s rows are read from its code, so they change when its prices or delays change.

Link seen is what we found on live listings, not what a platform promises. We opened public listings and read the rel attribute of the link to the product in the page HTML. Followed means no nofollow, ugc or sponsored mark. Mixed means both kinds on the listings we sampled, and Via redirect means the link goes through the platform’s own redirect first. 18 platforms showed at least one followed link. Samples are small, and a platform can treat a free listing and a paid one differently, so read the stated policy next to it.

The Free option filter keeps the platforms that state a free way to get listed, even when it comes with a queue, a badge or a link back. The Followed link seen filter keeps the platforms where at least one sampled listing had a followed link. Neither filter is a recommendation: the right platform depends on your audience, your date and what you can give in return.

Who publishes this list

MegaLaunch publishes this directory and is one of the platforms on it. To keep that from tilting the list, the rows are alphabetical, MegaLaunch included, every row shows the same fields, and nothing here is a paid placement. MegaLaunch also sells a directory submission service, which may submit products to platforms like these. How we check, re-check and correct these facts names every tie. Spotted an outdated fact? Write to Matt at contact@megalaun.ch.

Frequently asked questions

Which launch platforms are free?

13 of the 16 launch platforms we track state a free way to launch, usually with a queue, a badge or a link back: DevHunt, Fazier, LaunchIgniter, Launching Next, LaunchIt, Open-Launch, OpenHunts, PeerPush, PitchWall, Product Hunt, Smol Launch, TinyLaunch and Uneed. Tick Free option above to see every platform with a free route and its conditions.

Which launch platforms give a followed link?

On the listings we sampled, the link to the product was followed on AI Directories, DevHunt, Fazier, Futurepedia, LaunchIgniter, LaunchIt, MicroLaunch, PeerPush, Smol Launch, There's An AI For That, Toolify and Uneed. It varied from one listing to another on AlternativeTo, OpenHunts, SaaSHub, Show HN, TinyLaunch and TopAI.tools. Samples are small and a platform can change its links at any time, so read the row and its sources first.

How often are these facts checked?

Every fact shows the day it was read: between 24 Oct 2026 and 2 Nov 2026 for this list. We aim to re-check the most searched platforms every month and the others every quarter, and a fact older than 90 days goes on the re-check list.

Does MegaLaunch rank these platforms?

No. The list is in alphabetical order, MegaLaunch included, and no platform pays to appear here or to change its row. MegaLaunch runs a competing launch platform, which is why its rows are marked Ours.
