How Beast Launches plays it
Indie Hackers is about the conversation. Beast Launches is about the launch: a dated week, a listing page, your founders, your link.
Paid launch here at $5: followed link, every profile section open, and a launch receipt that keeps measuring.
Best combo: talk about it there, launch it here.
What you get in the pit
Whoever you pick above, here is the kit that comes with a Beast listing.
Paid launch: $5
Live now or in the week you name. A followed link to your site. The full profile unlocked: founder story, milestones, demo video.
Free entry
Put our badge on your site, finish your founder profile, and your free listing takes a slot 1-2 weeks out. The link back to you is nofollow; screenshots and comparisons still show.
Receipts, not hype
Each live listing shows what we measured after go-live: Ahrefs Domain Rating at launch and today, referring domains, AI mentions where tracked, and the clicks we sent. Refreshed daily. Zero estimates.
AI answer check, free
One free run per listed business: we ask ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity what a buyer in your category would ask, and show if you got named, where you landed and what they cited.
Votes nobody can buy
One human, one vote. Sponsors, Featured and the Billboard wear a paid label and add zero votes.
Our DR, out in the open
The pricing page shows our Ahrefs Domain Rating, live. Check the link's strength before you spend a cent.
Checkout, no account first
We make your account as you pay. Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, crypto. US dollars, VAT only where due, invoices from Zinn Digital® Ltd.
Product of the Week
Top three by community votes each week take #1, #2 and #3, with a badge on the listing and a share page.
Faces behind the product
Founders get their own profile pages, tied to their companies; paid listings can tell the founder story.
Domain records built in
Every listing shows its domain's public registration record. The domain age tool checks any domain for free.
