What you get
JustLaunched offers the same permanent backlink plus an active weekly newsletter, upvotes, category browsing, and a polished profile page — more distribution on top of the SEO value.
Yes — if you want an evergreen, SEO-indexed launch page and ongoing newsletter distribution rather than relying on a single high-pressure launch day. Many founders use both Launching Next and JustLaunched together: one for the spike, JustLaunched for the long tail.
No. They serve different moments in a launch. A long-running directory of newly launched startups. JustLaunched gives every product a permanent listing and a weekly newsletter slot for a single one-time fee, so listing on both widens your reach and backlink footprint.
$9 one-time for a permanent listing, or $29 to add a dofollow backlink, 30 days of top-of-feed placement, and priority review. Both are one-time charges — there is no subscription and no free tier.
Standard submissions are reviewed within 3 business days and promoted launches are prioritised within a day, then publish as soon as they are approved. Every listing is reviewed before going live to keep the directory high-quality.
Launch wherever your audience is — then give your product a permanent home that keeps working long after launch day.
