Launch once, keep the page: StartupBase one-time prices
AnswerYou need the product in front of people, and a page that stays findable — not one noisy day. StartupBase (https://startupbase.io) sells a launch directory: permanent listing, date you pick or a queue. Public /launch and /about: Free $0 (badge on your site ~4–5 weeks; about also lists a no-badge community queue ~10+ weeks); Launch $39 once (skip queue, date in 30 days, homepage feature, DR 72 dofollow); Boost $99 (homepage 30 days); Ultimate $299 (homepage 60 days + newsletter + 1,000-word review). Outrank from $15 once; cumulative bid holds Top 8. Checkout: Paddle. [email protected]. Pack: research pack.
What they sell
For founders shipping to early adopters. You buy a launch slot and a permanent product page (topics, collections, daily/weekly/monthly ranks) — not a monitoring agency and not a monthly “get ChatGPT to recommend you” plan.
Paid money buys timing and labelled placement: homepage, backlink, newsletter, review. About: organic rank is not for sale; Outrank cards queue by dollars paid and are marked paid. Separate ads: review article $99 now (was $199), Premium Placement $99/mo, newsletter sponsor $59/issue.
