What you actually get
A listing page that goes live the moment the badge verifies, on a directory of about 460 products. The link on that page is rel="nofollow" even after verification; their free plan promises the dofollow from the homepage feed and archive instead, which is a rotation you do not control.

How to submit to Launchit

1
Create an account
/submit redirects to /register when signed out. Google is offered alongside email, and a Cloudflare Turnstile sits on the form but clears itself.
2
Complete the profile first
A modal blocks the form until the profile has a location and at least one social link. The display name arrives prefilled from Google.
3
Main info
Name up to 45, tagline up to 60, up to three categories, at least one technology in Built with, at least three tags, five optional feature lines of 80 characters, and a description of up to 260 words.
4
Images and additional info
A square logo at 240x240, a 600x400 thumbnail and up to two 1200x600 covers. The next step adds value proposition, problem solved, audience and pricing model.
5
Promote, where the badge gate sits
Free Launch is preselected, but Launch Project stays disabled until Verify Badge succeeds. Their own line under the button is that the badge is optional only if you buy a plan.

Gotchas

The free lane cannot be submitted at all until the badge is on your site: Launch Project stays disabled through the whole last step, and the page's own note says the badge is optional only if you buy a plan.
Verifying the badge publishes the listing but does not make your link dofollow: the listing page still carries rel="nofollow noopener". Their free tier promises the dofollow from the homepage feed and archive, on a rotation, rather than from your own page.
The form is unreachable until the maker profile is complete, and completing it means giving them a location and at least one social link before you have launched anything.
The pricing-model control on the Additional Info step arrives preselected as Free, so a freemium or paid product publishes as free unless you change it.

Let your agent submit to Launchit

Connect SubmitMap to your AI over MCP and this page stops being something you read and copy. Your agent asks for the Launchit playbook and gets the brief for this exact form, with the values already taken from your submission pack instead of placeholders you fill in by hand.

What it does for this platform
Checks your product against the 5 Launchit rules above, so you find out you would be rejected before you open a tab.
Hands your agent all 8 fields this form asks for, 2 of them optional, already filled from your pack.
Warns you that Launchit looks for its badge on your site, so it has to be live before you submit rather than after.
Tells you what paying buys here, so you pick it on purpose: $9 Showcase adds five dofollow links and skips the badge; $29 Spotlight (from $59) adds ten or more plus a written blog post.
Types it into Launchit in your own browser, and stops for you when the form wants a sign-in.
Records what it sent, so the dashboard can answer "did I ever submit to Launchit?".
