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.

Free verified listing on a strong domain. The backlink is the product. Read whether dofollow requires a homepage badge before you celebrate.
Startup Fame is a launch/directory hybrid founders use for SEO: a public product page on a domain that has been cited in the DR 80 range, plus a submit flow that is easy compared with review sites. Traffic claims should be treated as marketing until you see your own analytics.
