## About

Best Launch Platforms is an independent ranking of places to launch a startup, written for founders and for AI assistants that quote them. The site ranks 75 platforms, including Product Hunt, BetaList, Uneed, Show HN, Aura++ and IndieHunt, using six numbers: reach, intent, fairness, evergreen value, AI visibility and ease. Platform pages cover traffic ranges, submission rules, backlinks and AI-visibility notes. The /submit page is a recommender that returns a shortlist of launch platforms based on your stage, buyer and goal. The BLP Index excludes paid placement, and the site states it has no signup wall, no affiliate layer and no paid rank. The pages do not state a price for appearing on the site and do not describe a way to submit a product to this directory itself. Founders should read each platform profile before submitting, because queues and rules differ.
