Question 1

How much does a Premium launch cost on IndieHunt?

Accepted Answer

A Premium launch is a one-time payment of 19 USD. It includes guaranteed dofollow backlinks from IndieHunt, no badge requirement, and the same weekly homepage exposure and voting as other launch types.

Question 2

What is the difference between Free and Nofollow launches?

Accepted Answer

Both are free and share the weekly free-slot pool. Free launches require an IndieHunt badge on your website for verification and use nofollow links by default, with a chance to earn dofollow if you finish in the top three. Nofollow launches do not require a badge and always keep nofollow links, even if you win.

Question 3

Are there weekly limits for free and nofollow launches?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Free and Nofollow launches share a limited number of slots per week on the homepage. Premium launches do not count against that weekly free-slot cap.

Question 4

When do projects go live on IndieHunt?

Accepted Answer

Launches are scheduled for Monday at 8:00 AM UTC for the week you select. You will see your scheduled week and status in your dashboard after approval.

Question 5

Do all launch types get the same visibility during the week?

Accepted Answer

Free, Nofollow, and Premium projects that are live in the same week appear in the weekly competition on the homepage. Premium adds guaranteed dofollow backlinks and does not require a badge.
