Five free pages a day at 08:00 UTC. The publisher states domain rating 0 and prices the full package at $29 against a typical $500–$1,000 agency quote. Not a launch board.

Lede Press is a daily index of product stories, not a logo directory and not a launch-day leaderboard. Each live page names the product, says who it is for, and contains one product link in a sentence. On the reciprocal free plan and the $29 plan that anchor is dofollow: no nofollow, sponsored, or ugc. The free nofollow plan uses rel=nofollow and does not ask for a site credit.
Projects are free. One reciprocal page and one nofollow page are allowed per project. Reciprocal and nofollow share five free slots a day at 08:00 UTC; a page that misses the day’s five waits in the queue. A $29 page skips that queue, goes live the day it is ready, and adds an SEO, AEO, and GEO edit, FAQ schema, Article and product structured data, an llms.txt listing, a richer Markdown twin, a custom image, a Pinterest pin, IndexNow, and up to three homepage relaunches. No site credit is required on the $29 plan.
The publisher’s own pricing page says SEO agencies commonly charge $500 to $1,000 for coverage on a site you do not run, and it also says the domain rating of ledepress.com is 0. Treat the $29 as the price of a public article you can open the same day, not as a ranking guarantee. Inspect the live anchor after publish. The longer comparison is /get-editorial-backlinks.

## Best for
- A daily-edition write-up that explains the product in plain language
- A dofollow contextual link at $0 with a site credit, or $29 with no credit
- Replacing an opaque $500 agency guest post with a URL you can open

## Skip if
- Buying a domain-rating number — the publisher states DR 0
- A Product Hunt-sized launch crowd
- A comparison shortlist (Listed Press) or a long buyer explainer (Piece Press)

## FAQ
### Is Lede Press an editorial backlink?
Yes, in the narrow sense the publisher uses: one product link inside a written edition page. Reciprocal free and $29 are dofollow. The free nofollow plan is not. The site states its domain rating is 0.

### How much does Lede Press cost compared with an agency?
Community coverage is free. The full editorial package is $29. The publisher says agencies commonly charge $500 to $1,000 for coverage on a site you do not operate.

### Does a Lede Press page rank my site?
No. The publisher says a published story does not promise a Google ranking, a citation, a traffic number, or a change in domain rating. Verify the page, not a ranking report.
