Free listing or paid launch? The breakdown
Free gets you queued. Paid gets you live now, full profile, search visibility and add-ons.

The free route
Start with a basic profile. Your founder story, milestones, screenshots, demo video and comparisons stay locked until you upgrade. We need our badge on your website before we publish.
You'll land in the free queue, about 6-8 weeks out. Your link carries nofollow weight—thin free pages don't get indexed by search engines, so organic reach is limited.
Going paid ($5)
Paid means live now. Pick your week or go straight to the top of the list. No badge required. Everything unlocks: full profile, dofollow link, search engine indexing.
Add muscle with extras. Choosing your launch week is included in a paid launch. If you are on a free listing and do not want to wait in the free queue, Skip the queue costs $9 and lets you pick your week. Climb faster with featured placement for $19. Expand into extra categories or grab a bundle.
Switching up
You can upgrade from free to paid anytime. Head to /account/listings, pick your listing, and go live.
Votes decide the ranking. Money doesn't. Whether you're free or paid, you climb the list when people vote you up.

- No. Free pages get nofollow links and don't get indexed. Paid launch unlocks dofollow links and search visibility.
- Can I launch paid on a specific date?
- Yes. Paid launch for $5 goes live now or in the week you choose. A paid launch includes your choice of launch week. Skip the queue ($9) exists for free listings: pay it and your free listing launches in the week you choose rather than at the end of the free queue.
