# Free pre-launch tools

LaunchList's free calculators and generators for founders before launch. Each runs in the browser with no signup, and each shows how it works and where its numbers come from. 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.
