How to submit to LaunchIgniter

  1. Open the LaunchIgniter submission page

    This is the page makers use to add a product.

  2. Sign up if asked

    We couldn’t confirm whether an account is required. Use a company email if one is needed.

  3. Have your assets ready

    Name, tagline, description, logo and screenshots. The checklist below covers what to prepare so you can fill the form in one go.

  4. Fill in the form carefully

    Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse LaunchIgniter (Makers and early adopters who upvote and review new products), not for search engines.

  5. Decide on the link back

    They ask for a link or badge on your site. Decide whether you’re happy to add it before you submit.

  6. Wait for review

    A person reviews submissions, so it can take a while. Once it’s live, check the link on your listing points to the right page.

Tips for LaunchIgniter

  • Free launches must display the LaunchIgniter badge; if Cloudflare blocks the checker you can confirm the badge manually during review.
  • Free launch dates can move if the week's free slots run out, so don't announce a date until it's confirmed.
  • The Winner badge goes to the top 3 products by upvotes in each launch week.

From LaunchIgniter’s own guidelines and pages, in our words.

What to prepare

The basics every directory asks for, plus what matters most for product launch platforms.

  • Product name and a one-line tagline (about 60 characters)
  • A short description (1–2 sentences) and a longer one (a short paragraph)
  • Square logo, at least 256×256 px, PNG or SVG
  • 2–3 screenshots at a consistent size
  • The exact page you want the link to point to
  • Pricing model (free, freemium or paid) and a contact email
  • A chosen launch date, with time blocked to reply to comments
  • A maker comment: why you built it and what feedback you want
  • Gallery images or a short demo video
  • An optional launch-day offer for that platform’s users

Is LaunchIgniter worth it?

Depends on the listing

LaunchIgniter uses followed links on some listings and not others. Read the evidence above and check which kind your listing gets before you pay for anything.

  • Domain Rating by Ahrefs: 75 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
  • Tranco rank #925,533: a smaller site, near the end of the top 1 million.
  • A person reviews submissions, so expect a wait and a real quality bar.
  • There’s a free option. Start free and only pay for upgrades if the traffic justifies it.
  • They ask for a link back to their site. One reciprocal link is common, but Google’s spam policies list excessive link exchanges as a problem, so don’t do this for every directory.

This verdict is worked out from the facts above with fixed rules (link type, review, price, Domain Rating by Ahrefs, Tranco rank), not paid for. The directory has no say in it.
