FIG 0.7 — About
The launch platform for new startups, SaaS and AI tools
Discover new products every day
LaunchHeat is a daily leaderboard of the newest products on the internet — startups, SaaS, AI tools, developer tools and mobile apps. Early adopters and investors use the launching today board to see what's new before everyone else.
Launch your startup to early adopters
Submit your product for free and reach people who love trying new tools. Indie hackers, bootstrapped founders and funded teams launch here for early users, feedback, backlinks and social proof.
A fair Product Hunt alternative
A transparent Launch Score combines votes, unique visitors and website clicks, with time decay so the leaderboard keeps moving. Every launch is human-reviewed, every vote needs an account, and sponsored placements are always labelled.
The best new tools, by category
Browse new AI tools, new SaaS products, new developer tools, new productivity apps, new fintech apps, new marketing tools, new design tools, new mobile apps, new e-commerce tools and more new launches.
FIG 0.8 — FAQ
Questions, answered.
Everything founders and early adopters ask before their first launch.
What is LaunchHeat?
LaunchHeat is a daily launch leaderboard where founders launch new products — startups, SaaS, AI tools, developer tools and apps — and the community upvotes the ones they like. Products compete on Today, This Week and All Time leaderboards.
How do I launch my product on LaunchHeat?
Sign in, click “Submit your product” and add your product name, website, tagline, description, logo and category. Our team reviews every submission, usually within a day. Once approved, your launch goes live and you get a shareable launch page.
Is it free to launch?
Yes. Launching on LaunchHeat is free — each account can have one product live or in review at a time. Optional paid promotions (from $5) give you extra visibility in clearly labelled sponsored slots.
How does the LaunchHeat leaderboard work?
Products are ranked by a Launch Score that combines votes, unique visitors and clicks to the product's website. The trending board also applies time decay, so new launches get a fair chance to reach the top.
Can I pay to rank higher?
No. Organic rankings can't be bought. Paid promotions only place your product in separate, clearly labelled sponsored sections — they never change your Launch Score or organic rank.
How is LaunchHeat different from Product Hunt?
LaunchHeat focuses on a fair, transparent ranking: every launch is human-reviewed, votes are weighted together with real visitor and click data, and the daily board resets so newer launches aren't buried. Founders also see exactly how much traffic LaunchHeat sent them.
When does the daily leaderboard reset?
The Today leaderboard resets every day at 00:00 UTC. Products keep their votes and continue to compete on the This Week and All Time leaderboards.
How do you prevent fake votes?
Voting requires an account, each person can vote once per product, and we rate-limit and monitor voting patterns. Votes from suspicious accounts or vote rings are removed from the score.
