What is ProductPerch?
ProductPerch is a free product launch platform designed for indie makers, solo founders, and open-source maintainers. It provides a fixed daily UTC schedule where products can be launched without a months-long queue. Each day offers 12 free slots and 8 paid slots.
Users submit a website URL, and an AI tool drafts the listing details including name, tagline, description, features, and use cases. The creator then edits the draft, adds images, and books a launch date. Launches go live at 00:00 UTC and run for 24 hours.
Ranking is determined solely by upvotes from signed-in members, with strict anti-spam measures like one vote per account and removal of suspicious voting patterns. A daily email digest sends out all launches at 08:00 UTC. Paid launches allow date selection but do not affect the ranking order.

ProductPerch FAQ
Is ProductPerch free to use?
Yes, ProductPerch offers 12 free launch slots every UTC day. You can submit your product URL, edit the AI-generated draft, and book the next available free date. Paid options are available if you want to pick a specific future date or get more homepage space.
How does ProductPerch rank products?
Products are ranked strictly by upvotes from signed-in members. Each account can only vote once per launch. The platform removes suspicious votes from new accounts or single networks before freezing results. Paid launches are labeled but do not receive ranking boosts.
Does ProductPerch give dofollow links?
Free launches get a dofollow link if you verify the ProductPerch badge on your site, finish in the daily top three, or are a verified open-source project. Otherwise, the link uses rel=nofollow. Paid launches also include dofollow links.
Can I launch an open-source project on ProductPerch?
Yes, you can add a GitHub URL during submission. The platform pulls stars, license, language, and last commit data via the GitHub API. Three daily slots are reserved for open-source projects that meet verification criteria like having an OSI license and matching domain ownership.
What happens after I submit my product?
After pasting your URL, an AI drafts your listing details which you can edit. You then upload a logo and up to six screenshots before confirming your launch day. Your product goes live at 00:00 UTC, accepts upvotes for 24 hours, and appears in the next daily digest.
