## About

IndieHunt is a weekly launch platform for AI tools, indie SaaS and bootstrapped products, built for solo founders, small teams and indie hackers. Each week runs as a seven-day competition that begins every Monday at 8:00 AM UTC, with projects shown on the homepage and listing pages kept for SEO after the week ends. Founders sign in with an email magic link, Google or GitHub to launch. The Free plan costs $0, requires an IndieHunt badge or backlink on your website, and gives a nofollow project link by default, with a dofollow upgrade for the top three weekly winners. The Premium plan costs $19 per launch and includes a guaranteed dofollow backlink, a Launch Kit of nine PNG graphics and a dedicated launch blog post. Before submitting, check that your site can carry the badge if you choose Free. IndieHunt also sells hero ad spots at $99 per month.

## How to submit
