How to submit to LiftOff
1
Product basics
URL, name up to 32 characters, tagline up to 128, description up to 4,096, a logo and one or more 16:9 screenshots. All of this fills signed out.
2
Positioning
Open or closed source, pricing category, one category from a searchable list, optional X and Bluesky handles, and an optional discount code shown as a badge on the listing.
3
The account wall
Only here, at step 3 of 4, does it ask you to sign in, by GitHub or Google. Onboarding then wants a display name, a profile slug, a 128-character bio and an avatar before it lets you back.
4
Plan and launch day
Four plans from free to 49 EUR. The calendar takes ten launches a day; next-day launch is reserved for the two dearest tiers.
5
Badge, then continue
Four badge styles to choose from, and free launches cannot continue past this step until Verify confirms the badge is live on your site.

Gotchas
The free plan's dofollow is a prize, not a term: their own plan card reads do-follow backlink only if top 5 daily ranking, and every live listing we opened carries rel=nofollow on the product's own link.
Free launches cannot get past the badge step until Verify confirms the badge is live, and the badge policy says it must stay on every page or the dofollow goes away.
The sign-in wall arrives at step 3 of 4, after you have written every field and uploaded every image, and the form does not survive the trip through onboarding.
