Open Launch is an open-source daily launch feed: submit, upvote, comment, browse categories. Premium packages have been sold as SEO/growth add-ons. The audience is a fraction of Product Hunt — publicly discussed in the mid tens of thousands of monthly visits, not millions.
Open source is the differentiator. You can see how ranking works. That does not magically create hunters. Founders without a network still need a fairer commercial board (Uneed) or a technical room (Show HN) for outcome.
Use Open Launch as a secondary daily board and a backlink, after or beside a primary launch.

## Best for
- A second daily board that is not Product Hunt
- Founders who care that ranking code is public
- Filling a launch calendar without another $99 badge hunt

## Skip if
- Needing press or a recognizable trophy
- Paying a large SEO package instead of listing on AlternativeTo
- First-ever public launch of an untested product
