LiftOff Directory
Your launch pad for what's next.
Hype can't move this line. Only verifiable outcomes do.
No money. No seat. It doesn't move the price. It goes on your record — and in 28 days reality settles it.
by reality anchor — the price money can't pump
Marketing. Launched 6d ago on PeerPush, where it placed #478. Today, it's live, but nothing on the site has changed since we started watching. It's anchored at 807 pts, with the crowd paying +14% on top.
It placed #478 on PeerPush with 48 votes. It also showed up on 3 other boards — but didn't place in the top 25% on any of them, so none of them add to the price. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
A launch's opening price comes from where it placed on its own board, normalised across all 12 platforms we watch. That's deliberate: #1 on a small board beats #40 on a huge one. It's how a launch nobody saw can still be worth more than one everybody did.
No matter how much money goes in. There is no pump here — you can't make yourself right by buying more. The line only moves on things that actually happened: an award, revenue that grew, a new platform, code that shipped — or silence.
Quiet for 3 days — no penalty yet. Bleeding begins on day 7.
We fetch this site every day and hash what's on it. A founder can post “still working on it” — but if they actually shipped, the page changes. That's the only claim we price: evidence, not announcements. The real question isn't “will this be huge?” — it's “will they still be moving in four weeks?”
The story so farEVERY MOVE, AND WHY▾
Repriced every day, no cliffs. A launch that goes quiet bleeds a little at a time, so there's never a drop you could have run from the night before.
No names, on purpose — a call is worth what it turns out to be worth, not who made it. And none of this money moved the price: the line above only responds to what the launch actually did.
Momentum on its boardDOESN'T MOVE THE PRICE▾
How the launch is moving on its own board, day by day. This is the crowd's attention — it does not move the reality price. Only verifiable outcomes do.
A flat line is normal: votes stop within a day or two of launch, on every board. What's unusual — and what actually counts — is a launch that keeps pulling votes long after its day is over.

# LiftOff **Your launch pad for what's next.** LiftOff (lift-off.sh) is a product launch platform for makers. Founders and indie builders can launch new products, get discovered, earn upvotes, and build momentum with a community that loves what is next. The focus is on launches that stay visible after release day rather than a single 24 hour spike. ## What LiftOff Is For LiftOff is built for makers who want more than a one day burst of traffic. It combines launch visibility, category discovery, maker profiles, upvotes, comments, and recurring promotion so a product keeps working after it ships. Launches move through leaderboards, searchable profiles, archives, and a Hall of Fame, so strong products keep earning attention instead of vanishing into a feed. Typical users: - Indie hackers and solo founders shipping their first product - Small teams launching a new tool, app, or SaaS - Makers who want honest feedback and lasting discovery - Early adopters looking for new tools before everyone else ## Key Features - Public launches with screenshots, positioning, pricing model, and category - Upvotes, saves, and comments from a maker first community - Daily, weekly, and monthly leaderboards that reward momentum - Category browsing across Marketing, FinTech, Security, Web Development, Generative AI, Data Analytics, AI Agents, SaaS, Productivity, and more - Searchable maker profiles and product pages that stay live after launch - Hall of Fame and archives so top launches remain discoverable - Fuel, a loyalty style reward system that turns activity into visibility and savings ## Launch Plans (One-Time) - **Free** (free, forever): Homepage display on launch, standard review queue, badge required on your site, do follow backlink only if you hit the top 5 daily ranking - **Featured** (9€): Permanent ribbon, homepage spotlight, no badge required, permanent do follow backlink, instant approval and faster queue - **Boost** (29€): Boosted visual treatment sitewide, no badge required, permanent do follow backlink, instant approval, launch tomorrow with no queue, +25 Fuel, dedicated social posts - **All-In** (49€): Everything in Boost and Featured combined, priority over Featured, SEO and AEO optimised product page, a dedicated SEO blog post aimed at competitor traffic, an extra +25 Fuel, and a discount on future advertising ## Advertising (Weekly Recurring) - **Home Page Spotlight** (49€/month): Large format placement near the top of the homepage, first view visibility before the feed - **Sidebar Card** (39€/month): Native placement beside product, profile, and category pages for steady awareness - **Footer Spotlight** (25€/month): Persistent bottom of site placement for brand recall and retargeting The recommended setup is to pick a submit tier for the launch, then layer on a weekly placement when guaranteed visibility is needed. ## Fuel Rewards Fuel is LiftOff's loyalty style reward system. Makers earn it by completing dashboard tasks and joining platform events, then spend it to boost products up the rankings or reduce the cost of supported launch options.

The board it did beston sets the price. Every other board only adds to it if the launch also landed in that board's top 25% — because just showing up somewhere isn't an achievement. Listing on twelve directories is free; placing well on them isn't.
