How to submit to Open Launch
Open the Open Launch submission page
This is the page makers use to add a product.
Sign up if asked
We couldn’t confirm whether an account is required. Use a company email if one is needed.
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.
Fill in the form carefully
Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse Open Launch (Makers and tech enthusiasts looking for new products), not for search engines.
Wait, then check
We couldn’t confirm how listings are reviewed. Once yours is live, check the details and that the link points to the right page.
Tips for Open Launch
- Free slots were booked into 2027 when checked; you can join the email list to be notified when they reopen.
- All launches go live at 8:00 AM UTC, so plan your promotion around that time.
- Free launches need both a top-3 daily finish and the badge on your site to earn a dofollow link.
From Open Launch’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 Open Launch worth it?
Depends on the listing
Open Launch 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: 72 (very strong). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
- Tranco rank #1,026,348: a small site, outside the top 1 million.
- There’s a free option. Start free and only pay for upgrades if the traffic justifies it.
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.
