Claim your spot →Not another launch feed.
Built for builders who want lasting traction, not a 24-hour spike.
Your product gets a full fortnight of attention — not 24 hours before it disappears.
On launch feeds, products peak and vanish in a single day. LaunchBuff runs a structured 14-day bracket: Round of 16, Quarterfinals, Semifinals, Final. Every round brings a fresh wave of voters who actively chose to be here. Your product is never buried under 200 things launched the same morning.
Every vote comes from a signed-in human who visited both products first.
No anonymous upvote buttons. No "ask your audience to spam the leaderboard" dynamics. Voters sign in, visit both products in a matchup, then pick the one that earns it. The signal is clean — which means the badge means something when you put it on your site.
A permanent listing, a dofollow backlink, and a badge you own — for free.
Launch day traffic is a vanity metric. What stays is a backlink from a ranked domain, a listing page that accumulates search traffic over time, and a winner badge that signals community validation on every pitch deck and landing page you share. LaunchBuff is infrastructure for your product's credibility — not a one-day event.
More than bragging rights.
Every entrant gets value. Winners get more.
Winner Badge
A community-voted badge you can embed on your site, link in your bio, and share across every platform you pitch on.
Real Backlink
A dofollow link from launchbuff.com. Every product gets a permanent listing page — tournament winners get featured placement.
Targeted Visibility
Your product in front of solopreneurs, developers, and founders actively looking for tools — not a random feed.
Permanent Listing
Your product lives on LaunchBuff after the tournament ends. Category pages, leaderboards, and search — ongoing distribution.
Questions, answered.
Everything you need to know before you submit.
Yes, completely free. Submit your product, get a permanent listing page and a dofollow backlink from launchbuff.com — regardless of how far you go in the tournament.
Your product deserves
a fair fight.
Submit your product, enter the next available bracket, and walk away with a backlink, a permanent listing, and — if the community agrees — a badge worth putting on your homepage.
