Your launch options and what they cost
Choose the launch tier that fits your drop. A paid launch ($5) goes live when you pick—now or your chosen week—with a followed link, full profile unlock (your founder story, milestones, shots and demo video), and search engine indexing.
Your launch week is your choice on a paid launch, with no extra charge. For a free listing, $9 skips the free queue and puts it in the week you select. Go featured for 7 days at $19 to catch extra buzz.
Boost your profile deeper: add an enhanced profile ($9) or land an editorial founder feature ($29). Get a paid AI review ($19, clearly marked as paid) to add social proof.
