Free vs Premium: what $14.99 actually gets you

Hey,

Every week someone asks me whether Premium is worth it over the free launch. Fair question, so here is the straight answer, with our own numbers.

What the free launch gets you

A permanent listing page on LaunchIt, a spot in the launch list, and upvotes and comments from the community. It's a real listing, and plenty of products start there.

What Premium adds, for $14.99 once

• Launch as soon as tomorrow. Pick any open day instead of waiting in the free queue, where launches currently get a date about two months out.
• On the homepage all day on your launch day, guaranteed.
• A verified badge and a highlighted card, so you stand out in the launch list.
• Featured in this newsletter, in front of 1,600+ subscribers.
• Submitted to DirPilot too. DirPilot is our partner directory. We send your product there for you, so you get a second listing without filling in another form.
• No badge needed on your site. Free launches ask for a small LaunchIt badge; Premium doesn't.
• The same permanent page on a DR 59 domain that every listing gets.

What our numbers say

Across 480+ live listings, Premium and free launches get about the same number of listing views. What changes is what people do next: Premium listings get about twice as many clicks through to their website.

Same audience. The difference is where you're placed and how you're presented.
