Submit to OpenLaunch.ai

A daily launch and upvote site for tech products, separate from open-launch.com despite the similar name. Makers and tech enthusiasts browse the daily ranking. Free launches wait in a queue and only get a dofollow link if they finish top 3, while premium launches get one from day one.

    This is the page makers use to add a product.

  2. Sign up if asked

  4. Fill in the form carefully

    Pick the most specific category the form offers and write the description for the people who browse OpenLaunch.ai (Makers and tech enthusiasts following daily product launches), not for search engines.

Tips for OpenLaunch.ai

  • All launches go live at 8:00 AM UTC.
  • Free slots are limited to 5 per day, so the free queue can stretch for months.
  • The $9 premium launch is the cheapest way to guarantee a dofollow link here.

From OpenLaunch.ai’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 OpenLaunch.ai worth it?

Depends on the listing

OpenLaunch.ai 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: 35 (moderate). That's the strength of links to the whole site, not a promise about what your listing passes on.
  • No Tranco rank on record, so we can’t say how much traffic it gets.
  • 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.
