Why skipping the waiting line

We guarantee that every product we accept appears on the homepage, and we keep daily launches low to make that mean something — between 25 and 45 products a day. The trade-off is the wait.

How the free queue works

You submit, we review, and then you go to your dashboard and join the waiting line. Submitting on its own doesn't schedule anything — but once you join the line, the next available free slot is assigned to you automatically. You don't pick the date yourself on the free path.

Those dates are booked a long way out: only 30 free launches are published per day. As of August 2026, the first free slots are in February 2027. That's a snapshot, not a promise — the wait moves with the volume of submissions, so check the date shown in the submission form before you plan around it.

Free users can also keep only one product in the waiting line at a time. If you want to queue a second product while the first is still waiting, a paid option is the way to do it.

What "skipping the line" means

You bypass the wait and launch sooner. That's all it does — it doesn't buy you ranking, votes, or any advantage on launch day itself.

We have two paid options:

  • Skip the Waiting Line ($29.99) — the only option where you pick any available launch date yourself.
  • Fast-track ($14.99) — cheaper, but the slot is assigned automatically, about two weeks out.

Both are guaranteed to publish with a permanent do-follow backlink and no upvote threshold. For the full side-by-side, see Fast-track.

When it's worth paying

Skipping the line earns its cost when a specific date matters to you:

  • Your launch is tied to an event, an announcement, or a marketing campaign with a deadline.
  • Your product is seasonal, or the timing window is short.
  • You want to land on a good day of the week rather than take whatever slot you're assigned.
  • You want to queue a second product while the first one is still waiting.

When to just wait

If your timing is flexible and the budget isn't there, the free queue delivers the same core thing: a homepage slot and a real audience. You just have to be comfortable waiting several months.

The wait is also useful. It's time to refine the product, build an audience, and get your launch materials ready — see How to maximize your launch success.

The short version

Ask yourself one question: is there a date that would meaningfully change how this launch goes? If yes, pay to pick it. If not, join the line and use the time.
