IndieHunt is built for indie SaaS, AI tools, and bootstrapped products that need a weekly launch window instead of a one-day feed. Projects go live Monday at 08:00 UTC and compete for votes through the week.

## Clear backlink rules

Free launches stay nofollow by default (badge required) with a top-three path to dofollow. Premium is $29 one-time and includes a guaranteed dofollow link, site-wide ad slots during the live week, Launch Kit graphics, an SEO/GEO launch story, and social posts.

## After the hunt

Project pages, launch stories, Studio guides, and free founder tools (taglines, domain checks, runway and MRR calculators) keep IndieHunt useful between launch weeks.
