Why MakerRadar
Launch once. Keep getting found.
MakerRadar gives your product a week in front of makers and early adopters — and a permanent page that keeps working for you in search and AI answers afterwards.
A whole week, not a day
Each launch week runs Monday to Monday (UTC), so a maker in any time zone gets seven days to be found and upvoted — not one frantic morning.
This week's launchesA page Google and AI can find
Every listing keeps a permanent page with structured data, a plain-text version for AI assistants and a place in our llms.txt — built to be found in search and cited in AI answers.
How AI assistants read usA backlink you can earn
Your listing links to your site. Keep our badge on your site, win a week, or get picked by our team, and that link becomes dofollow.
What a dofollow link isA ranking money can't buy
The board is ordered by real upvotes. Paid spots are labelled and pinned, never re-ranked, and every award is confirmed by a person after weighing out suspicious votes.
How ranking & ads workFree to launch
There are 25 free launch spots every week. Paying is optional — to pick your week, be featured, or have us submit you to directories.
PricingHelp with the rest of your launch
A ranked list of startup directories with their domain rating and link type, a glossary of the terms, and done-for-you submissions when you'd rather not.
Where to launch next
Questions makers ask first
How does a launch work?
Launches run by the week: each launch week starts Monday 00:00 UTC and runs to the next Monday. You pick your week when you submit; during it, your product is on the home board and the community upvotes it. When the week ends it moves to that week's archive page, and its listing page stays up for good.
Is listing free?
Yes — there are 25 free launch spots every week, and every listing gets a permanent, search-friendly page.
Do I get a backlink to my site?
Every listing links to your site. The link is dofollow when the listing earns it — our badge on your site (we recheck it every 7 days), a Premium launch or Featured week, a Top of the Week, Month or Year award, or our team's pick. Otherwise the link is nofollow.
Do paid placements change the ranking?
No. A Featured or Boosted product keeps its true rank; it's only pinned to a position on the board, and it's always labelled. Awards, the archive and our structured data all use the organic rank only.
Can AI assistants read MakerRadar?
Yes, on purpose. MakerRadar is open to search and AI crawlers, and every key page has a Markdown version for them. llms.txt lists the site for language models, so your listing can be found — and cited — in AI answers.
