About
LaunchBuff is a fortnightly product tournament for indie hackers, solopreneurs, and SaaS founders. Each tournament brings 32 products into a community-voted bracket that runs over a 14-day cycle, and the site lists SaaS, developer tools, AI and ML, productivity, and design products. To submit, you enter your product details and verify ownership with an email magic link, with no password needed. The Pricing page says free tournament entry is paused and the free queue has grown to about one year, though you can still submit and activate a listing. A free listing includes a nofollow link and requires the LaunchBuff badge. Paid tiers add a guaranteed tournament slot and a permanent dofollow backlink from a DR 74 domain, priced at $19 or $39 one-time. Homepage spotlights, newsletter sponsorships, and content partnerships are sold separately as advertising.
How to submit
Add your product with a name, tagline, and URL, then verify ownership by email magic link.
