## About

Smol Launch is a weekly product-launch platform for indie makers and bootstrapped founders at smollaunch.com. Each launch period runs Monday to Sunday, and products are ranked by a public Rank score built from community votes plus bonus points for launch completeness and participation. The site lists products across categories such as SaaS & Tools, AI & ML, Design Tools and Developer Tools. To launch free, makers add the Smol Launch badge to their site and vote on three eligible launches by other makers during the voting week. Premium costs $19 per launch and gives a permanent backlink without a badge. Premium+ costs $39 per launch and adds a one-week Featured Spot and a newsletter feature. Free launches are paced at 50 a week and wait in a queue when a week fills. Free covers only a product's first launch, so founders should check the weekly slot rules before choosing a tier.

## How to submit

Submit a product during a weekly launch period, pass the quick approval review, collect community votes Monday to Sunday, and winners receive badges.
