USE CASE:

Deciding where to launch a new product

This page is about deciding where to launch a new product: what your options are for launch planning, what each costs, and the one we would use. We are Mamba Labs, we build Apify actors, and Launch Directory List Builder is ours for launch planning.

The problem

Launch lists circulate with hundreds of directories, and many are dead, parked or quietly charging now. Submitting to the wrong ones wastes a week and earns nothing. The right list depends on the product: a developer tool and a consumer app belong in different places. Each candidate needs a live check before you spend time on it.

Traditional Search Tools

  • Paid launch submission services. They submit to a fixed list for a fee. The list is theirs, not chosen for your product, and quality varies.
  • Founder communities. Indie Hackers threads and similar give honest advice on which launch sites still send traffic. Advice ages fast.
  • Work through a public list. Take a popular launch list and visit every link, noting price and whether the submit form works. Expect a third to be gone or changed.
