Free listing or paid launch?
We list bootstrapped makers free, or paid for a push. Here's what each gets you.
Updated
The free route
You get a basic profile on Zivaro Launch without spending. We'll lock the paid sections—founder story, milestones, screenshots, demo video, comparisons—so they show greyed out to readers.
There's one catch: our badge must live on your website before we publish you. We're not shy about it.
Your listing goes into the free queue, so expect to wait about 6-8 weeks. We give you a nofollow link back to your site. Thin free pages don't get indexed by search engines, so discovery beyond us is limited.
The paid launch
Pay $5 and you skip the wait. Go live now, or pick any week that suits you. No badge needed. Your full profile unlocks—founder story, milestones, everything—and we give you a dofollow link. That means search engines will find you.
We also offer add-ons if you want more push: $9 to jump the queue, $19 for a featured spot, extra categories, or bundles.
Switching later
Start free and change your mind? Head to /account/listings and upgrade to paid whenever. We don't lock you in.
Readers vote here, not money. A paid launch gets you visibility and unlock, but the order on the page is all them.
Questions people ask
- Do I have to pay to launch?
- No. Free listings go on Zivaro Launch after a wait in the queue. Paid launches go live faster and unlock your full profile, but free works.
- What's the badge for?
- Our badge sits on your website to prove you're listed with us. It's part of the deal for free listings. Paid launches don't need it.
- Will search engines find my listing?
- Free listings get nofollow links, so no. Paid launches get dofollow links and are indexed by search engines.
