Aura++
Daily launches at 8:00am UTC, lasting project pages, and paid tiers that buy a DR-70-class dofollow. Smaller room than Product Hunt; stronger as a listing plus backlink than as a traffic spike.
Aura++ is a daily product launch board with votes, comments, badges, and a permanent project page. Premium tiers add an explicit dofollow backlink (the domain is commonly cited around DR 70), an AI launch story, Launch Kit graphics, and extra placement. Free launches exist; they are not the same SEO outcome as Premium.

Same Hunt weekly machine, labeled for AI tools. Useful if your buyer is an early-adopter who already lives in AI Twitter — not if you sell payroll software.
EarlyHunt runs Monday 8:00am UTC weekly competitions with seven days of homepage time, voting, Hall of Fame badges, and the Hunt-network pricing trio (free with badge, free nofollow, ~$19 Premium dofollow). Copy and hunters are pitched at AI products and “what’s next” early adopters.
