LaunchIt: requirements, how to submit, and what you actually get
The free lane is a link exchange: you must link back before they approve you, and $19 is what buys the same dofollow without one.

What you actually get
A permanent product page on a small but real launch board, scheduled for a launch date you pick from their calendar. Review is quoted at 48 hours and the free queue ran about ten days out when we booked. The link is the reason to be here and it is genuine: a live listing's Open Website and Visit buttons carry no rel at all. The audience is not: their own counters read 90,630 listing views against 342 clicks to founder sites across 187 products, which is about two clicks per product, all time.
How to submit to LaunchIt
1
Pick a tier on /submit
Basic at $0, Premium at $19 one-time (from $39), Boost at $49, and Featured at $39 a month for listings that already exist. Relaunching is $15. Start for Free routes to /signup rather than to a form.
2
Step 1 of 3: launch date and badge
A calendar of free slots, with the near dates marked Full: the first bookable day was ten days out. The same panel hands you their badge snippet, because the free lane is a link exchange.
3
Step 2 of 3: maker profile
First name, last name and email, prefilled from your account. This is what appears under your launch, and their validation refuses to advance without a last name even though the input is not marked required.

Step 3 of 3: the listing
Startup name, URL, a 100-character tagline, one of 16 categories, up to 5 tags from a fixed list, a logo (required, 5MB), an optional screenshot (10MB) and a 500-character description.
5
Verify the badge, then submit
Paste the page carrying their badge and press Verify badge; it answers "Badge verified, you're good to go" with the URL it found. Tick the fair-launch commitment and Submit for Free.

Gotchas
Their Google sign-up is broken for anyone whose Google display name is a single word. The handler builds your account slug as first-last by splitting the display name on a space, so displayName.split(" ")[1] is undefined and the call throws "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading toLowerCase)". The OAuth round trip completes and the site simply stays logged out, with no message. Add a surname to the Google profile first, or use X or email and password.
The maker profile is prefilled from your account and last name is mandatory, so whatever your sign-in identity is ends up printed under the launch. Their sign-up also derives your profile slug from first-last. Set both deliberately if you list under a handle rather than your legal name.
Their badge snippet is broken. It reads <img src="launching.svg">, a relative path, so it resolves against your own domain and 404s. The real asset is at https://launchit.fast/img/launching.svg, 200x54.
The free calendar books out: every day for the next ten was marked Full when we submitted, so the earliest free launch date was ten days away while the paid lanes were bookable immediately.
