FAQ

Launch questions

Not sure which option fits? Contact us

What is StartupBase?

StartupBase is a launch and discovery platform where founders, makers, and early adopters find new products every day. Launching here puts your product in front of an audience that is actively hunting for their next tool.

What is the difference between a free and a Premium launch?

Free launches need the StartupBase badge on your site and wait their turn in the queue. Premium skips both: you choose the exact date, get a guaranteed homepage feature, and keep a permanent dofollow backlink, with no badge required.

How is this different from Product Hunt?

Product Hunt is one hectic day where you fight dozens of launches and vanish by tomorrow. On StartupBase your homepage feature is guaranteed, your listing is permanent, and your backlink keeps working for months. You are not gambling on a single day of attention.

What kind of reach can I expect?

StartupBase draws 60,000+ monthly visitors and reaches 19.1K+ founders plus 15.3K+ newsletter subscribers. A Premium launch typically spikes with upvotes, reviews, and clicks on launch day, then keeps pulling steady traffic from search, topic pages, and collections.

What SEO and long-term benefits do I get?

Every paid launch includes a permanent dofollow backlink from a DR 73+ domain, plus a listing indexed across topic and collection pages. Higher tiers add an editorial review written to rank for your product name, so the value compounds long after launch day.

How soon can I launch, and can I pick the date?

With Premium, as early as tomorrow, or any date up to 30 days out. You control the timing. Free launches publish in queue order, so the wait depends on the line ahead of you.

What can I add to a Premium launch?

At checkout you can extend your homepage feature to 30, 60, or 90 days, add a spot in the StartupBase newsletter, get a 1,000+ word editorial review published on our blog, or promote your launch with sponsored LinkedIn posts.

Can I get on the homepage without launching?

Yes, through Outrank. It skips the submission and the review queue entirely: pay what you want from $15, once, and your card goes on the board. The top 3 run in the sidebar sitewide, the homepage included, until someone pays more. Any website or social profile qualifies, and every card keeps its place on the board permanently.
