When to go Featured

Use paid tiers when launch timing and homepage placement matter most.

Paid tiers on Launchpadly buy speed, placement, and editorial assets — not fake community love.

  • Your launch week is fixed (press, PH day, conference)
  • You need to skip the free review queue timing uncertainty
  • Homepage placement helps your warm audience find you quickly

Choose Premium when

  • You care about a long-lived SEO page about your product
  • You want a structured review with pros/cons and FAQ
  • Newsletter inclusion and deeper packaging matter

Choose Social Boost / Sponsored when

  • You want cross-channel amplification or a longer homepage spotlight
  • You already validated messaging and can capitalize on attention

When to stay free

  • You are testing demand before spending
  • You can wait a few days for review
  • You are happy to host the badge and grow organically

Honest ROI framing

Track UTM-tagged visits, waitlist signups, and activated users — not only upvote peaks. A $9–$29 upgrade that lands ten qualified trials outperforms a free launch that nobody converts.
