What Launch Vault is and who it's for

Launch Vault is a product launch platform for startups, SaaS, devtools, and AI tools. Makers submit their projects to weekly launch windows that open every Monday at 8:00 AM UTC. Each launch gets a permanent, Google-indexed listing page, and top launches can earn a dofollow backlink. The site reports 3,997 projects, 6,489 registered makers, and 40K monthly visits.

Entrepreneurs, makers, and startup founders who want to discover new products, find startup ideas, and connect with the maker community.

Why Launch Vault submissions get rejected or stall

  • Free launch not scheduled until badge verification is complete
  • Free launch slots are limited to 25 per week
  • Dofollow backlink on free launches only if product ranks in top 3 weekly
  • Premium + JustTools requires separate submission to JustTools (handled by Launch Vault)
  • Product may not fit the listed categories (SaaS, startup, devtools, AI, etc.)

Tips for a listing that gets approved

  • If you want a guaranteed dofollow backlink, pay for Premium — free launches only get dofollow if you rank in the top 3 weekly.
  • Submit early in the week: launches open Monday 8:00 AM UTC and slots are limited.
  • For free launches, add the badge to your site before submitting to avoid delays.
  • Consider Premium + JustTools to get two dofollow links for only $5 more than Premium.

Our take on Launch Vault

Launch Vault is a solid choice for startups and SaaS founders who want a permanent, indexed listing and a chance at a dofollow backlink. Free launches are possible but require badge verification and have limited weekly slots. Paying $9.99 for Premium is worth it if you want a guaranteed dofollow link and priority review.
