# IndieLaunch

> IndieLaunch (indielaunch.dev) is a free launch platform and directory for products built by indie makers and small teams: SaaS, AI tools, developer tools, apps and side projects. Makers launch for free, visitors upvote and comment, and every launch gets a permanent product page.

Launching is free. Free launches add a small IndieLaunch badge to their site, and in return their product page links to them with a dofollow link. Premium launches (from $2.99) are pinned as Featured for a week and always get a dofollow link. Approved launches go live the same day.
