Terms and submission rules
By using ProductPerch you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.
1. Accounts
You need an account to submit, upvote or comment. One person, one account. You are responsible for what happens under your account.
2. What you can submit
Software and digital products that you make or are authorised to represent: web apps, mobile and desktop apps, browser extensions, APIs, CLIs, libraries, templates, games and open-source projects. The site must be live and work. You confirm that the listing text and images are accurate and that you have the right to publish them.
3. Prohibited content
We reject or remove: adult content, gambling, scams and get-rich-quick schemes, crypto airdrops and token sales, selling followers, reviews, upvotes or links, black-hat SEO services, malware and anything that harms users’ devices, impersonation of other products or people, physical goods and services that are not software, and listings whose description does not match the website. Agencies may not submit for clients.
4. Review
Every launch is reviewed automatically when submitted and again the day before launch, by rules and a language model; some go to a person. We may reject, reschedule or remove a launch that breaks these rules, before or after it goes live, and we tell you why.
5. Limits
- At most 3 launches waiting at once per account, and 1 launch per account per launch day.
- At most 3 free launches per account per 30 days, and 1 free launch per domain (or GitHub repository) per 30 days.
- The same product can launch once every 180 days.
- At most 10 AI autofills and 5 new products per account per day; at most 20 comments per day, one every 10 seconds.
- Each UTC day has 12 free slots (3 kept for open source) and 8 paid slots.
6. Links and badges
A launch link is dofollow when the launch is paid, the project is verified open source, it finished in the top 3 of its day, or our badge is verified on the maker’s site. Every other link is rel="nofollow". Product pages always link with ?ref=productperch so makers can see the traffic. Outbound links carry ?ref=productperch. We check badges by fetching your homepage and the page you submitted, the day before launch, on launch day, and weekly for 8 weeks. If a badge that made a link dofollow disappears, the link returns to nofollow. We do not promise any search ranking, domain rating or traffic.
7. Voting rules
One upvote per account per launch. You cannot upvote your own launch. Do not buy votes, trade votes, use multiple accounts, or ask people to create accounts just to vote for you. Accounts younger than 10 minutes are flagged. Before a day’s results are frozen we remove votes we judge to be fraudulent (for example batches of new accounts or many votes from one network), so the final rank can differ from the live one. Repeated cheating gets the launch removed and the account banned. Paid launches never get extra votes or rank.
8. Payments and refunds
Paid launches use launches from your balance, bought as one-time packs through Stripe. Launches do not expire. A launch is held when you book and used when your product goes live; if it is rejected or you cancel before launch day it is returned automatically. Unused launches bought in the last 14 days can be refunded on request to contact@productperch.com. A paid launch can be moved once, at least 24 hours before its date. See pricing.
9. Comments
Be civil and on topic. No spam, self-promotion in other people’s threads, harassment or personal data. We may remove comments that break these rules.
10. Content licence
You keep ownership of what you submit. You give us permission to display, resize and distribute it on ProductPerch, in the daily digest and in social posts about your launch, for as long as the listing exists.
11. Disclaimer
Listings are written by makers and AI drafts; we do not endorse or guarantee the products. The service is provided as is. To the extent the law allows, our liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the last 12 months.
