ScrollLaunch vs TinyLaunch
ScrollLaunch and TinyLaunch both run weekly launch boards. Both are free to list, and both put a condition on the free backlink. As of 16 October 2026, ScrollLaunch's free listing stays dofollow only while its badge stays on your site. TinyLaunch gives its badge and backlink to the top 3 products, and its homepage says the dofollow link is granted once you embed that badge.
Paying removes the condition on both, at the same price. ScrollLaunch Premium ($39, one-time) is always dofollow and adds a launch story on its blog. TinyLaunch Premium ($39 per launch) guarantees the backlink and launches you the next Monday instead of waiting in the free queue.

Which should you pick?
Pick ScrollLaunch if…
- You want a paid launch that also includes a long story on their blog, with links to your site.
- You want a directory package smaller than 110 (from $99 for 30+).
- You'd sponsor a maker newsletter (from $49 an issue).
Pick TinyLaunch if…
- You expect to finish top 3 and don't mind embedding their badge.
- You want a $9 one-off AI visibility audit.
- You want one directory package covering 110 directories.
Where LaunchRanked fits
Disclosure: LaunchRanked is our product. Where we list it, we say so, and we place it under the use case it fits rather than at the top by default. Everything else here is from the vendors’ own sites or our research, and we say where they’re better.
LaunchRanked is a weekly launch board. An approved listing's link is followed while our badge is on your site (we re-check it weekly) and nofollow without it. The rule is the same on every plan: Boost ($15) and Featured ($29) only buy speed and visibility, never the followed link. Unlike TinyLaunch, we don't limit the followed link to the top 3, and unlike both, no plan buys it.
We're new, so our audience is smaller than established boards. The lasting value is a permanent, SEO-ready product page and the link.
Frequently asked questions
Which gives a free dofollow link, ScrollLaunch or TinyLaunch?
Both, with conditions, as of 16 October 2026. ScrollLaunch's free listing is dofollow while its badge stays on your site, and it re-checks weekly. TinyLaunch gives the backlink to the top 3 products, and its homepage says the dofollow link is granted when you embed its badge.
Which is cheaper for a guaranteed link?
Neither. Both Premium launches cost $39. ScrollLaunch's is one-time and adds a ~1,800-word story on its blog with 4+ dofollow links. TinyLaunch's is per launch: you launch the next Monday, and you get 25% off future launches.
Should I launch on both?
You can. Both run weekly, so stagger them a week or two apart and use what you learn from the first launch in the second.
