What it is
Launch Llama is a startup and tools directory with a weekly founder newsletter. Every accepted tool gets a directory listing and product page; paid plans add speed, placement and newsletter exposure.
Who it is best for
Makers who care about a durable listing and SEO more than a one-day launch spike, and who are happy to wait about four weeks or pay to skip it.
How to submit
- Submit your tool on the free plan: one tool listing with a product page.
- Wait for review; the pricing page says free listings are published in about four weeks.
- Optionally add Instant Launch ($39 one-time) to go live immediately with a permanent dofollow backlink.
- Featured ($29/week or $99/month) pins the listing to the top of the directory and adds a newsletter feature.
Free vs paid
| Option | Price | What you get |
|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | Listing and product page, reviewed and published in about 4 weeks, 1 tool |
| Instant Launch | $39 one-time | Skip the wait, permanent dofollow backlink, "guaranteed GSC indexing" |
| Featured | $29/week or $99/month | Top placement, DA 72 dofollow (their figure), 4+ SEO pages, up to 3 tools, a newsletter feature |
| Newsletter ad | $199 (1x) or $499 (3x) | A dedicated slot in the weekly newsletter |
Dofollow or nofollow?
On the pricing page's comparison table, the permanent dofollow backlink is marked "+$39" for the free plan and included with Featured. Launch Llama describes its domain as DA 72.
Our check, 2026-09-30: nofollow on 6 of 6 listings sampled. Example we checked: tools.launchllama.co/products/clawteams. We read the rel attribute on the link to the maker's own site; a link without nofollow or ugc passes ranking signals, while nofollow and ugc ask search engines not to.
Tips
- The same pricing page quotes two newsletter sizes: 55,000+ subscribers for newsletter ads, and 20,000+ founders for the Featured newsletter feature. Both are self-reported.
- Paid plans and add-ons are non-refundable once activated or fulfilled, per the FAQ.
- Free accounts can list one tool; Featured allows up to three.
