Maker Launches lists businesses, products and founders with permanent profiles, weekly launches, community votes, comparisons and founder stories. Operated by Zinn Digital® Ltd. Co-founded by Natalie Lock (whose idea Maker Launches was) and Neil Lock (co-founder and developer). Contact: launch@zinndigital.com.

## Key pages

- [Launch receipts](https://makerlaunches.com/launch-receipts): what we measured after each launch went live (Domain Rating then and now, visits sent), and the launches with the biggest gains

## API and MCP server

- MCP server (Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1): https://makerlaunches.com/mcp - add it as a custom connector in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code to search launches, submit a product by URL and manage listings; no voting through it
- [OpenAPI document](https://makerlaunches.com/api/v1/openapi.json)

## Link metrics we track

Where many launch sites stop at one Ahrefs score, Maker Launches keeps six side by side for each listing: Domain Rating from Ahrefs, Trust Flow and Citation Flow from Majestic, and Domain Authority, Page Authority and Spam Score from Moz.

Domain Rating comes round daily for each listing. Paid listings have Majestic re-read every 30 days and Moz every 30 days; free ones have Majestic every 90 days and Moz every 90 days.

- Domain Rating (Ahrefs): paid listings daily, free listings daily
- Trust Flow (Majestic): paid listings every 30 days, free listings every 90 days
- Citation Flow (Majestic): paid listings every 30 days, free listings every 90 days
- Domain Authority (Moz): paid listings every 30 days, free listings every 90 days
- Page Authority (Moz): paid listings every 30 days, free listings every 90 days
- Spam Score (Moz): paid listings every 30 days, free listings every 90 days

## Prices (USD, before VAT where due)

- Launch listing on this site: $5 (one-off, per listing). Your listing goes live now, or in a launch week you pick at no extra cost, with every profile section open and a followed link to your website.
- Multi-site bundle (a launch on other launch & discovery sites): $99 (one-off, 49 sites). Write it once and we do the rest: live on the other 49 launch and discovery sites, reworded site by site, with every later edit flowing to all of them automatically.
- Done-for-you listing: $149.99 (one-off, 49 sites). Done for you on 49 other launch and discovery sites. Each listing gets a description written for that site, and one email gives you all the links.
- Featured launch: $19 (7 days). Show your listing in the homepage Featured spot for 7 days from your launch week. It is labelled Featured and adds no vote.
- Top page space: $49 (7 days). The one Sponsored slot on the homepage, yours for 7 days: name, logo, tagline and a link to your website.
- Category space: $19 (7 days). 7 days as the Sponsored company at the top of your category page.
- Newsletter space: $29 (one issue). The Sponsored place in one issue of the newsletter Maker Launches sends out every week.
- Billboard: from $5 (any amount, adds up). The Billboard is ordered by money contributed and nothing else, with the biggest total at the top. It is kept apart from votes.
- Additional categories: $5 (one-off, per listing). Show your listing in up to 3 more categories as well as its main one. Paid once per listing.
- Product review: $19 (one-off). A structured review drawn from your listing and website pages, labelled on your listing as commissioned by the maker. It never counts as a vote or a rating.
- Editorial founder feature: $29 (one-off). An article about the founder from the facts you gave, edited by one of our editors. Nothing in it is made up.
- AI answer tracking: $19 (12 weekly checks, per listing). Once a week, for 12 weeks, we ask ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity the questions your buyers ask and email you the answer: named or not, position, and the competitors they named.
- Add your launch platform: $2 (one-off, per launch platform). For people who run a launch platform or directory: one payment adds it to our launch platforms ranking, measured and sorted by the same rule as every other row.
