Launch Receipts

Launch Receipts is a free startup marketing directory that publishes verified "Launch Receipt" pages for products with public launch or update posts, including community traction counts and an optional dofollow backlink.

What is Launch Receipts?

Launch Receipts is a web-based directory where founders submit a product plus at least one public launch or update post (for example on Reddit or Hacker News). The team reviews every submission within 7 days, and approved products get a public Launch Receipt page showing their category, description, website link, and community traction indicators. As of the page, it has collected 300+ marketing posts and 100+ launched startups. No payment or credit card is required to submit.

Key Features

• Free submission — Submit your product details and one public founder post with no payment or credit card required.
• 7-day manual review — Every submission is checked before being published; adding the badge increases your chances of approval.
• Public Launch Receipt page — Approved products get a dedicated page with name, category, description, and links to the launch post and website.
• Dofollow backlink — Products that add the official badge receive a dofollow link, which passes link authority to their site.
