Quick Facts
- Pricing
- Free launch $0 (reviewed, badge required, date not guaranteed); Basic $12 one-time (guaranteed date, no badge); Pro $15 one-time (adds two more backlinks); Growth $99 one-time (30 days featured and an editorial review). A directory submission service starts at $99.
- Review Turnaround
- Free launches are reviewed manually before they go live, and no review time is published. The date isn't guaranteed; Basic and above skip the queue.
- Free Option
- Yes
- A free launch gets 1 week of homepage visibility, and every one is reviewed manually. It must show the LaunchIgniter badge, and its date can change if the week's free slots run out.
- Link Type
- Dofollow (conditional)
- LaunchIgniter says only the top 3 products of a launch week get a dofollow backlink on the free plan, and that Basic and above get a lifetime dofollow backlink (it calls its own domain DR 75, which we haven't measured). The one listing we checked on 20 Oct 2026 had a plain link, with no nofollow.
Overview
LaunchIgniter features each launch on its homepage for a full week, starting Monday 00:00 UTC, and gives a Winner badge to the top 3 products by upvotes. Free launches are reviewed by hand and need its badge on your site. Together with OpenHunts, it's the closest match to Hauntboard's format.
Strengths
- A full week on the homepage.
- A cheap paid launch ($12) with a guaranteed date and no badge.
- Free launches are reviewed by hand.
Limits
- On the free plan, only the top 3 get a dofollow backlink.
- A free launch's date isn't guaranteed.
- Its backlink strength figure is its own claim.
How to Submit & Launch on LaunchIgniter
- Free launches need the LaunchIgniter badge on your product's homepage.
- Choose your launch week when you submit: launches start at 00:00 Monday UTC.
LaunchIgniter vs Hauntboard
LaunchIgniter and Hauntboard share a format: weekly launches that start on Monday, manual review, and a badge on free launches. Hauntboard gives every approved launch a dofollow link rather than only the top three, reviews free launches in about 72 hours, and shows each launch's page views and visits in public.
Free Hauntboard listings show the Hauntboard badge on your site; while the badge isn't there, the link is nofollow.
No published click data found.
Dofollow for the top 3 on the free plan; lifetime dofollow on paid plans, by its own account.
Weekly, with a Winner badge for the top 3.
