Frequently asked questions
Is this every place to launch a SaaS?
No. It is the 19 sites we tried in October 2026 using a free option.
Did every site publish the listing?
No. Uneed stayed a draft because the free waiting line was full. Launching Next stayed in a free queue of about 4 months, and we did not take the paid listing.
Does a free listing always use a followed link?
No. 10 sites gave a followed link. Read the Worth knowing column before you add a badge. TinyLaunch gives a followed link to the top 3 of a launch that show its badge.
What to prepare
Screenshots, a description long enough for the site that asks for one, and a check of badge rules come before the form. The product launch checklist is the full list.
