Makerlog vs Hauntboard
Unlike Makerlog (Free maker profile; Dofollow link), Hauntboard gives every approved launch a 7-day weekly board slot, verified public page views and outbound clicks, and a dofollow link ($0 with badge or $19 Launch Now with no badge).
Free Hauntboard listings show the Hauntboard badge on your site; while the badge isn't there, the link is nofollow.
Outbound clicks and visitor analytics are private to the platform.
Dofollow backlink from a DR 55+ domain.
