IndieHunt
Seven days on the homepage instead of one. Free slots are capped; $19 Premium guarantees dofollow. Same Hunt network as Aura++, different cadence.
IndieHunt runs a weekly competition: products go live Monday 8:00am UTC and stay on the homepage for seven days while the community votes. Free launches (often capped around 15 per week) require a badge and default to nofollow; top-3 free launches can earn a dofollow upgrade. Premium is a one-time ~$19 dofollow, launch blog, and extra placement.

Curated tools and products with Premium Launcher access across the six Hunt surfaces. Use it as a lasting listing, not as a traffic spike.
Uno Directory is the catalog in the Hunt family — alongside Aura++ and the Hunt weeklies. It is built for ongoing discovery: categories, curated tools, lasting pages — rather than a 24-hour or seven-day leaderboard. Premium Launcher keys that work on Aura++ also submit premium listings here.
