LiftOff Directory

# LiftOff **Your launch pad for what's next.** LiftOff (lift-off.sh) is a product launch platform for makers. Founders and indie builders can launch new products, get discovered, earn upvotes, and build momentum with a community that loves what is next. The focus is on launches that stay visible after release day rather than a single 24 hour spike. ## What LiftOff Is For LiftOff is built for makers who want more than a one day burst of traffic. It combines launch visibility, category discovery, maker profiles, upvotes, comments, and recurring promotion so a product keeps working after it ships. Launches move through leaderboards, searchable profiles, archives, and a Hall of Fame, so strong products keep earning attention instead of vanishing into a feed. Typical users: - Indie hackers and solo founders shipping their first product - Small teams launching a new tool, app, or SaaS - Makers who want honest feedback and lasting discovery - Early adopters looking for new tools before everyone else ## Key Features - Public launches with screenshots, positioning, pricing model, and category - Upvotes, saves, and comments from a maker first community - Daily, weekly, and monthly leaderboards that reward momentum - Category browsing across Marketing, FinTech, Security, Web Development, Generative AI, Data Analytics, AI Agents, SaaS, Productivity, and more - Searchable maker profiles and product pages that stay live after launch - Hall of Fame and archives so top launches remain discoverable - Fuel, a loyalty style reward system that turns activity into visibility and savings ## Launch Plans (One-Time) - **Free** (free, forever): Homepage display on launch, standard review queue, badge required on your site, do follow backlink only if you hit the top 5 daily ranking - **Featured** (9€): Permanent ribbon, homepage spotlight, no badge required, permanent do follow backlink, instant approval and faster queue - **Boost** (29€): Boosted visual treatment sitewide, no badge required, permanent do follow backlink, instant approval, launch tomorrow with no queue, +25 Fuel, dedicated social posts - **All-In** (49€): Everything in Boost and Featured combined, priority over Featured, SEO and AEO optimised product page, a dedicated SEO blog post aimed at competitor traffic, an extra +25 Fuel, and a discount on future advertising ## Advertising (Weekly Recurring) - **Home Page Spotlight** (49€/month): Large format placement near the top of the homepage, first view visibility before the feed - **Sidebar Card** (39€/month): Native placement beside product, profile, and category pages for steady awareness - **Footer Spotlight** (25€/month): Persistent bottom of site placement for brand recall and retargeting The recommended setup is to pick a submit tier for the launch, then layer on a weekly placement when guaranteed visibility is needed. ## Fuel Rewards Fuel is LiftOff's loyalty style reward system.
