Our take

Firsto runs daily product launches for makers, indie hackers and early adopters, with five launch slots per day. Free launches face a queue of around 180 days and earn an SEO backlink only for top-3 finishers showing the badge, while Premium costs $19.90 per launch for a 24-hour slot and a guaranteed SEO backlink link. Standard listings are confirmed NOT to pass SEO value, and search traffic is about 780 visits a month.

Firsto is a fair product launch platform (an alternative to Product Hunt) where every launch gets real visibility – built for indie makers, devs, and startups.
