Launching a digital product without a clear distribution strategy is like opening a store in the middle of nowhere and hoping customers will somehow find it.

Most entrepreneurs spend months building their product but only days thinking about where to launch it, which explains why 90% of launches generate less than 100 visits. The difference between a failed launch and one that brings thousands of early users often comes down to choosing the right platforms and timing your submissions strategically.

This guide covers 70 platforms where you can launch and list your digital business, ranked by traffic, ease of use, cost, and actual results. If you want deeper insights into your specific market before launching, check out our market clarity reports, which include competitor analysis, pain points detection, and distribution strategies for 100+ product categories.

The Complete List of Launch Platforms

  • 1. Hacker News

    Hacker News is a tech-focused community where you submit your product with a "Show HN:" prefix and the homepage front page can drive 20,000-30,000 visitors in a single day. You create an account, submit your product URL (required), leave the text field blank, then immediately post a first comment explaining your backstory and technical details. The platform gets 3-3.5 million monthly visitors, and it's 100% free but highly competitive, with a tech-savvy developer audience that can be critical.

  • 2. Product Hunt

    Product Hunt is the industry-standard launch platform where you submit at 12:01 AM PST and compete in a 24-hour voting window that can generate 1,000-10,000+ website visits. You need an account that's at least one week old, and successful launches require 2-4 months of community engagement beforehand. The platform has 3.6-5 million monthly visitors with 500,000+ newsletter subscribers, it's completely free to use, but you can only launch once per product unless you pivot significantly.

  • 3. Crunchbase

    Crunchbase is a business database where you create a company profile that gets 5.57 million monthly visits with an average session duration of 19:38 minutes. You sign up, add your startup details (name, description, founders, funding history), and submit for review, though the profile is community-editable so you need to monitor it with Google Alerts. The basic listing is free, with paid plans starting at $29/month for advanced features, and it's particularly valuable for startups seeking funding or investment credibility.

  • 4. Wellfound (formerly AngelList)

    Wellfound is a dual-purpose platform connecting startups with investors and tech talent, attracting 4.2 million monthly visits from 35,000+ recruiting companies and 2 million+ candidates. You create a detailed company profile with business model, team info, and funding information, then post unlimited jobs for free. Basic access and job posting are completely free, with paid plans starting at $149/month for advanced screening, making it perfect for tech startups looking to hire and raise funding simultaneously.

  • 5. AlternativeTo

    AlternativeTo is a community-driven platform where users discover software by searching for alternatives to existing products, generating 4.61 million monthly visits with strong organic search traffic. You search for your category or similar products, then suggest your tool as an alternative, providing details and platform support information. It's 100% free to submit and list, rankings are determined by community voting and reviews, and it's excellent for long-term organic discovery through search engines.

  • 6. Indie Hackers

    Indie Hackers is a community platform owned by Stripe where 1-1.6 million monthly visitors connect around bootstrapped projects and transparent revenue sharing. You create an account, build your profile, share your project through multiple methods (community posts, product pages, groups, milestone updates), and engage authentically with 140,000+ community members. It's 100% free with no paid options, but success depends entirely on genuine participation and building-in-public culture rather than one-time promotional posts.

  • 7. BetaList

    BetaList is a curated directory that features your startup on the homepage for 24 hours and in a daily newsletter, typically generating 387-1,000+ visitors and 46-300+ beta testers. You fill out a submission form with your startup details, and if approved, you get featured after a 2+ month wait (free) or within 3-4 days with expedited review ($129). The platform gets 96,500-205,000 monthly visits with 100,000+ registered users, but it doesn't accept blogs, newsletters, courses, books, or consultancies.

  • 8. F6S

    F6S is a platform connecting 1.5 million+ tech founders with accelerators, investors, and funding opportunities through 1.08 million monthly visits. You create a free profile with your startup information and apply directly to programs through the platform, using their free tools for networking and job postings. Everything is 100% free, including accelerator applications and networking features, though standing out among 600,000+ registered startups can be challenging.

  • 9. BetaPage (now Pitchwall)

    BetaPage is a more lenient alternative to BetaList where you get an immediately accessible public link after submission, attracting 57,000-65,000 monthly visitors. You fill out a form with basic details, share your link to get 5 upvotes, and with those votes your product appears in the "Recent" section (featured listing costs around $60). The platform has 40,000+ listed products with 30,000-45,000 newsletter subscribers, accepts startups at any stage, and has no strict approval process unlike BetaList.

  • 14. Peerlist

    Peerlist is a LinkedIn alternative for tech professionals where you can submit products to their weekly Spotlight section (limited to 50 products per week) attracting 188,000-209,000 monthly visitors. You join the platform, create a professional profile, submit your product for the weekly launch, and products stay visible for one week with community upvoting. It's 100% free but doesn't provide dofollow links, and slots fill quickly each week so you need to be ready when the new week begins.

Editorial coverage is 100% free with a focus on the European tech ecosystem, though TNW announced shutdown of events and media operations in 2025 with their last conference in June 2025.

  • 25. TechCrunch

    TechCrunch is the most prominent tech publication with 9.39 million monthly visits, but only about 7% of stories cover funding rounds under $20 million and product launches alone rarely get covered. You fill out a company profile form, email tips@techcrunch.com for news tips, or email guestcolumns@techcrunch.com for thought leadership pieces (1,000-2,000 words). Editorial coverage is 100% free but extremely competitive, requiring genuinely newsworthy content like significant funding rounds, major partnerships, or launches from already notable companies.

  • 26. Mashable

    Mashable reaches 17.3 million monthly visitors but has no formal guest post program, requiring direct outreach to specific reporters via social media instead. You find reporters covering your sector, build relationships before pitching, and pitch must be creative, concise (7 sentences max), and demonstrate why it matters to their audience.

Membership is paid (historically around $20/month), requires active shipping to maintain access, and focuses on quality over quantity with strong peer accountability culture.

  • 32. Pitchwall

    Pitchwall displays products in random order rather than by votes (ensuring equal visibility for all submissions), reaching 57,000 monthly visitors and 45,000+ newsletter subscribers. You submit finished or beta products for free, and products appear randomly on the homepage so nothing gets buried by vote counts. Free submission comes with a 30-day approval wait, or $99 lets you choose your launch date, with advertising starting at $199.

  • 33. Feedough

    Feedough writes full blog posts featuring your startup (not just directory listings), reaching 800,000-1 million monthly visitors with strong blog readership.

    Firsto limits launches to only 2 homepage spots per day, guaranteeing visibility since every product gets seen rather than buried in an endless feed.

  • 42. SoloPush

    SoloPush is positioned for solo founders to quietly launch with guaranteed dofollow links and gain SEO value without competitive pressure. You submit for free and automatically receive dofollow links regardless of votes or rankings. The "quiet launch" positioning means lower immediate traffic but a solid SEO foundation, making it smart for early-stage growth and building your backlink profile.

  • 43. Open Launch

    Open Launch is an open-source platform providing a clean launchpad for new digital products with SEO-friendly dofollow links included.

You submit early before slots permanently fill, paying $5.99/month for listing. The limited capacity (1,000 tools maximum) and daily rotation ensures visibility, but you need to submit sooner rather than later as slots are limited.

  • 47. Launching Today

You submit if your product fits one of the categories, then get ranked by community upvotes.

You submit for free with 72-hour verification, or pay $12 for 24-hour verification.

  • 51. Extend Hunt

    Extend Hunt extends your Product Hunt launch visibility beyond the standard single day using a time-extension mechanic where each upvote adds 1 hour to your 12-hour starting visibility. You sign in with your Product Hunt account after launching there, then benefit from extended exposure (though the platform only gets 1,500 monthly visitors). It's 100% free but requires an existing Product Hunt launch first, making it a good supplemental platform rather than a standalone option.

  • 70. Sideprojectors

    Sideprojectors is a marketplace where you can showcase, sell, or find co-founders for side projects, with manual approval causing submission delays.

How we created this content 🔎📝

At Market Clarity, we research digital markets every single day. We don't just skim the surface, we're actively scraping customer reviews, reading forum complaints, studying competitor landing pages, and tracking what's actually working in distribution channels. This lets us see what really drives product-market fit.

These insights come from analyzing hundreds of products and their real performance. But we don't stop there. We validate everything against multiple sources: Reddit discussions, app store feedback, competitor ad strategies, and the actual tactics successful companies are using today.

We only include strategies that have solid evidence behind them. No speculation, no wishful thinking, just what the data actually shows.

Every insight is documented and verified. We use AI tools to help process large amounts of data, but human judgment shapes every conclusion. The end result? Reports that break down complex markets into clear actions you can take right away.
