"I tried to list my own product on launch day and hit a paywall. Then another. Then another. So I built the site I needed — and made sure it would never charge a founder to be seen."
Julie James, Founder · Automated Income Tools LLC
May 6, 2026 — the day this got built.
Why this exists

Born on a
frustrating Tuesday.

On May 6th, 2026, we were trying to launch a product. We hit a paywall on one platform. A months-long approval queue on another. A "premium listing" upsell on a third.

Every platform that was supposed to help bootstrap founders launch had found a way to charge them for the privilege. We thought that was wrong.

So we built LaunchFree.io — The Runway. The place where every legal, legitimate product gets a fair shot at being discovered, regardless of the founder's budget.

What you get when you list

Concrete. Honest. Free.

No vague promises. Here's exactly what listing on LaunchFree.io does for your product.

01
A permanent listing
Your product lives on LaunchFree.io permanently, indexed by search engines and discoverable by anyone searching for products like yours — today and years from now.
02
Weekly newsletter feature
Every Friday, new listings are featured in The Runway Digest — sent to bootstrap founders and indie makers actively looking for products to try, buy, and share.
03
Community upvotes
Visitors can upvote your product. Top-voted listings rise to the top of the feed and earn a spot in weekly digest highlights. Real signal from real founders.
04
A shareable badge
Once listed, you get a "Listed on LaunchFree.io — The Runway" badge to add to your site, README, or social profiles. Small trust signal. Free to use forever.
05
Category visibility
Your listing is tagged and filterable by category — so founders browsing your niche find you specifically, not just the generic feed. Targeted discovery, zero extra work.
06
Zero fees. Ever.
The core listing is free. It will always be free. We make money through optional sponsored placements — never by charging founders to be discovered.
The Runway Standard

Who belongs on the runway

The Runway is open to every legal, legitimate product — from zero revenue to a million. We welcome every stage, every budget, every niche. One standard: be real.

Free doesn't mean anything goes. The Runway has one job: to be the most trusted free launch directory on the internet. That means every listing is real, every founder is legitimate, and every product serves a genuine purpose. We review every submission before it goes live.

✦ Welcome on the runway

  • Any legal product, tool, or service at any stage
  • Pre-launch, beta, waitlist, and early access products
  • Side projects, MVPs, and works in progress
  • Bootstrap founders, solo makers, and small teams
  • Every industry, niche, and category
  • Free and paid products both welcome
  • International founders and global products

✗ Not on this runway

  • Illegal products, services, or businesses
  • Products that promote harm to people or animals
  • Adult content, gambling, or weapons
  • Scams, pyramid schemes, or deceptive products
  • Spam tools or products designed to manipulate

See something that shouldn't be here? Report it to us — we review every flag within 24 hours and remove listings that violate The Runway Standard. Our goal is a directory every founder trusts.
