Peerlist Launchpad is free, but it wants a verified personal profile and its audience is mostly people in tech. If your product, your team or your buyers do not fit that, these launch sites are worth a look. Facts as of October 2026.
Peerlist calls itself a professional network for builders to show and tell. People keep a profile and a portfolio there, and it adds a feed and a jobs board. It was founded in 2021 in Pune.
Its Launchpad is a weekly product launch. The launch window opens every Monday and runs for a week. Projects launch from a verified personal profile and rank on a mix of upvotes, comments, views, link visits and traction. The top three get a badge and a feature in the weekly email and on social.
Launching is free as of October 2026. A Featured Launch, one day at the top of its Scroll feed, starts at $29.
Nine launch sites and communities, plus SaaSCity, measured on the same points: format, free route and cheapest paid option.
Ordered by Ahrefs Domain Rating from our directory dataset, highest first, SaaSCity included. DR measures the strength of the site’s own domain. It says nothing about how many customers a launch brings.

Products launch for a day and compete for Product of the Day. Like Peerlist, it asks you to post from a personal account; company accounts are not allowed.
Show HN is for things people can try now. Sign-up pages, landing pages and fundraisers are off topic, and asking friends to upvote is against the rules.
A reviewed directory with a founder profile page that lists all of your startups in one place, which covers part of what a Peerlist profile does.
Daily launches with weekly and monthly leaderboards. The paid tiers let you publish now or pick a date, and drop the link-back requirement.
Profiles, a products database and a daily Build Board of build-in-public posts. Closest to Peerlist’s show-and-tell side, for founders more than engineers.
A daily launchpad with community votes and rankings by day, week, month and year. A free launch needs an upvote score of 10 on launch day to stay published.
A product discovery site for people and AI assistants, with upvotes, comments, follows and daily, weekly and monthly awards.
Weekly launch periods like Peerlist’s, with badges for the top three. Its own llms.txt puts the free wait at about four weeks.
It accepts only tools for developers. Developers vote after signing in with GitHub or Google, and weekly winners get a newsletter feature.
A SaaS launch directory drawn as a city map, where each product is a building with its own page. Free launches wait for an open Monday slot, and our badge on your site makes the free link dofollow; Quick Pass ($19.99) skips the queue and the badge after a human review, and Premium ($39.99) adds a launch post we write.
SaaSCity lists the product itself, on a city map and a DR 65 domain, so a company can launch without a verified personal profile. A free launch takes the first Monday with one of 15 free slots open, or $19.99 skips the queue. It has no profile network or feed, so if a public builder profile is what you want, Peerlist, Indie Hackers or Startup Fame fit better.

Prices, queues and rules are as of October 2026 and were read on each platform’s own site. They change often, so check the platform before you pay. DR figures come from our directory dataset (Ahrefs Domain Rating) and can move a few points between checks.
