Premium Launch ($19 one-time): guaranteed dofollow, Launch Kit graphics, social promotion, site-wide ad slots, skip the queue and a premium badge. On 2026-09-29 the pricing page also showed a banner saying 'You can launch premium for free during our special offer.'

Tips
Getting the most out of Earlyhunt
- For a free launch, add any link to earlyhunt.com on your site before you submit, because scheduling waits until the link is verified.
- Write the full description at 400+ words; 200 is the minimum and the FAQ recommends 400+.
- Choose a launch week when you can push for votes, since only top-3 weekly winners on the free plan earn a dofollow link and badge.
- Check the pricing page for the special offer before paying, as it said Premium could be launched free at the time of checking.
