How do votes work on Maker Launches?
Sign in to vote on live launches, one vote per listing. Votes are earned from the community—never bought or sold.

Getting started
To vote, you need to sign in and confirm your email address. That's it.
The rules
- One vote per listing, per person.
- You can only vote on live launches.
- You can vote for your own launch once you've voted for someone else's first.
- We run quick human checks now and then to keep things clean.
- If you vote a lot in a short space of time, we'll flag it and hold those votes until we've had a look.
Votes stay separate from everything else
Votes come from makers and builders in the community. They're not for sale. Paid ranking (our billboard), verification badges, factual data like Domain Rating—these are all separate systems and clearly marked. No amount of money changes your vote count.
Active community members build influence over time. When you show up, vote thoughtfully and ship your own work, your vote carries more weight. That's how it should be: trust built by showing up and doing the work.
Questions people ask
- Can I vote for my own project straight away?
- No. You need to vote for someone else's launch first. After that, you can vote for your own.
- What stops people gaming the voting system?
- We set hourly and daily limits, run human checks, and flag suspicious bursts of votes until we review them.
- Can votes be bought with a paid plan?
- No. Votes, paid ranking, verification and data are separate. Money doesn't change vote counts. Influence comes from being active in the community.
