# Free pre-launch tools

Free calculators and generators for founders before launch. Each runs in the browser with no signup, and every constant it uses is the founder's own input or a linked source. Canonical page: https://getlaunchlist.com/tools

## Validate the idea

Before you build: what people have actually done about the problem, and how big the market really is.

- [Startup idea validator](https://getlaunchlist.com/tools/idea-validation-scorecard.md): Score the evidence behind your startup idea and choose your next validation step.
- [TAM SAM SOM calculator](https://getlaunchlist.com/tools/tam-calculator.md): Size your market bottom-up: customers you could sell to, times what each pays a year.

## Plan the money

How long your cash lasts, and what your waitlist could be worth once you start charging.

- [Pre-launch MRR calculator](https://getlaunchlist.com/tools/prelaunch-mrr-projector.md): Project launch-day MRR and the first year of revenue from your waitlist, price and churn.
- [Startup runway calculator](https://getlaunchlist.com/tools/startup-runway-calculator.md): Work out how many months of cash you have from your burn rate, revenue and growth.

## Grow the waitlist

How your list compares, how fast referrals can grow it, and what a reward for sharing can cost.

- [Waitlist benchmark](https://getlaunchlist.com/tools/waitlist-benchmark.md): Compare your referral share, sharers and confirmation rate with real LaunchList waitlists of your size.
- [Waitlist growth simulator](https://getlaunchlist.com/tools/waitlist-growth-simulator.md): Project how big your waitlist gets in the weeks before launch, with and without referrals.
- [Referral program ROI calculator](https://getlaunchlist.com/tools/referral-reward-calculator.md): Price a referral reward and see the ROI of a referral program before you launch it.

## Launch and get found

Launch day on Product Hunt, and a guide to your site for the AI tools that read it.

- [Product Hunt upvote calculator](https://getlaunchlist.com/tools/launch-day-forecaster.md): Estimate the upvotes your own list and network bring to a Product Hunt launch, and what closes the gap.
- [llms.txt generator](https://getlaunchlist.com/tools/llms-txt-generator.md): Create a Markdown guide to your site using the proposed llms.txt convention.
