Our take

IndieHunt hosts weekly launches for AI and indie products aimed at consumers and professionals. The free weekly launch has 15 slots, requires their badge and gives non-SEO links except to the top three, while Premium is $19 one-time with a guaranteed SEO backlink link and no badge. The site is less than a year old and has almost no search traffic yet, around 33 visits a month.

Launch your AI or indie SaaS on IndieHunt. Weekly competitions, $19 premium dofollow backlinks, launch blog posts, and discovery for builders–not just another directory.
