TinyLaunch

Launch competitions with badges gated on placement.

Launch boardsDaily boardFounded 2023Reviewed September 2026

TinyLaunch runs launch competitions for small products. The board is a cousin of Fazier and Tiny Startups: smaller than Product Hunt, free to join, with social proof badges if you place well. The dofollow backlink is commonly gated behind embedding a badge and finishing near the top.

That gating matters. A backlink you only get after a top-3 finish is a prize, not a guarantee. Go in for the competition and the extra listing; treat the link as a bonus.

Self-reported user numbers (25,000+ in some materials) are not independently verified here. Use your own analytics as the source of truth.

Scheduled daily board

Should you launch on TinyLaunch?

Yes — this is a fairer daily board than Product Hunt if you have no private hunter list.

TinyLaunch is an actual launch surface: a date, a ranking or homepage slot, and comments. Cost: Free. May offer paid extra visibility; confirm on-site.

Do not expect Product Hunt volume. Do expect a lasting page and a room small enough that silence is obvious. Stay in the comments for the whole cycle.

When: Week 2 as a warm-up, or as the only board if you are skipping Product Hunt. Not the same morning as Show HN.

Launch here if

  • Founders collecting additional launch listings
  • Products that can compete on a small daily board
  • Badge collectors who will actually embed one

Skip if

  • Teams that need guaranteed dofollow without a badge
  • Products that cannot spare another launch day
  • Anyone treating self-reported user counts as a forecast

This page answers TinyLaunch only. For an ordered stack by stage, buyer, and goal, use the shortlist recommender or the four-week sequence.

How to submit

  1. 01

    Read the current competition rules

    Gating for badges and links changes. Do not assume last year’s terms.

  2. 02

    Submit a complete listing

    Thumbnail, tagline, URL. Same craft as any daily board.

  3. 03

    Only embed a badge if you mean it

    Homepage badges have a cost in design. Decide before you optimize for the backlink.
