ScrollLaunch is a weekly launch platform for indie makers and SaaS founders, positioned as a Product Hunt alternative. Instead of a single 24-hour spike, it gives each product a permanent page at /products/{slug} and a place on a leaderboard for its ISO week.
The site says its goal is helping products rank on Google and appear in answers from ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity. Every live listing has structured data, an AI-readable markdown version and a canonical backlink to the maker's website.
The platform is operated by one person, Kalash Vasaniya, and describes itself as intentionally small. It reports 1,180 live products and 64K+ monthly visitors on its pricing page.
A maker signs in, pastes the product URL, and an AI form prefill drafts the listing. The maker then picks a week, and the product appears on the weekly leaderboard once it goes live.
Within each ISO week, products are ranked by upvotes, with engagement tiebreakers deciding close results. Top spots get spotlight placement across archives and weekly recaps, and past weeks stay available at /week/{year}/{week}. Each week has 25 free spots, while Premium listings are not capped.
Backlinks depend on the tier. Premium is always dofollow, while free listings stay dofollow only while the ScrollLaunch badge, or a link to the product page, remains on the maker's site. The platform rechecks this weekly.
The core feature is the permanent product page, which includes structured data for search engines and a markdown twin for AI assistants. Makers also get embeddable badges, a maker dashboard, upvotes, comments and launch analytics.
Around the launch product sits a set of SEO resources: a list of 1,018+ startup directories ranked by Domain Rating with free and dofollow filters, plus free tools such as a DR Checker, Bulk DR, On-Page Audit, GEO Checker and Keyword Ideas.
A daily streak system rewards leaving a comment or upvoting three products each UTC day. For developers, there is a public REST API with an OpenAPI 3.1 contract, an npx CLI and an MCP endpoint, none of which needs an API key for reads.

Yes. Free Launch is permanent and includes a public product page, weekly leaderboard placement, upvotes, comments and analytics. Each ISO week has 25 free spots, and Premium listings skip that cap.
Premium is $39 per product as a one-time payment, not a subscription. It adds an always-dofollow backlink, a gold verified badge, priority placement, a Monday recap feature and a launch blog with 4+ dofollow links.
Premium listings always get a dofollow link from the product page. Free listings stay dofollow only while the ScrollLaunch badge or a link to the page remains on the maker's site, which is rechecked weekly. Feed and archive links are nofollow on every tier.
Yes. It uses a 7-day leaderboard and a permanent product page instead of a one-day spike. Its FAQ suggests using Product Hunt for the spike and ScrollLaunch the same week so the listing keeps working afterward.
There are two homepage placements: a Product Center Ad at $19 per week and a Right Sidebar Ad at $29 per week, with 6-week bundles at $99 and $149. Newsletter sponsorship starts at $49 per issue, and directory submission plans run from $99 to $199.
