Where to launch your app

Free places to list a new iPhone or Android app, with the rules that trip people up. Checked by hand in October 2026 while launching our own apps. Nobody paid to be on this list.

Before you start (30 minutes)

  • A website or landing page, a privacy policy URL and a support URL.
  • A one-line tagline under 60 characters, and 3–5 screenshots.
  • Your store links. Most sites pull the name and icon from them.

Listed right away

  • Bentavo — free. Paste an App Store link and the page is live at once; Android within a day. Shows how your app charges, with a free badge.
  • Get Indie Apps — free, iOS and Android in one listing, no review. Paid promotion is optional.
  • AlternativeTo — free. List your app as the alternative to 3–5 well-known apps — that is where the search traffic comes from. Reviewed before it shows.
  • AppBrain — Android only. Claim your Play listing as the developer.
  • SaaSHub — free, approved in 2–7 days.
  • It’s All Widgets — Flutter apps only.

Free launches that ask for a badge

These skip the paid queue if your site shows their badge.

  • TinyLaunch — pick a free launch week; a person approves it.
  • Smol Launch — tags are required; the free queue can be about 10 weeks.
  • OpenHunts — add the badge to skip the queue, then submit for review.
  • Fazier — new accounts may need a few real comments on other products first.
  • Uneed — one product in the free queue at a time; the queue is months long.
  • Peerlist Launchpad — one launch at a time, weekly. Fill the project to 100% first.
  • ScrollLaunch — one product per domain — apps sharing a company site count as one.

Launch days and communities

  • Product Hunt — once per product. Post Tuesday to Thursday at 12:00 a.m. Pacific and answer comments all day.
  • r/SideProject and Indie Hackers — “I built this” posts with the story. Ad copy gets removed.
  • r/droidappshowcase — for Android apps — r/androidapps bans self-promotion.
  • r/AppHookup — only for sales and limited-time free offers.
  • Hacker News (Show HN) — only when there is a technical story to tell.
  • X, Threads, Bluesky — #buildinpublic, #indiedev, #indieapp and a short screen recording.

By language

  • Korean — 모두의 앱 (moduapp.kr), GeekNews “Show GN”, Clien’s self-promotion board only.
  • Japanese — #個人開発 on X, and build-log posts on Zenn or note.

Skip

  • BetaList if you have already launched — it is for pre-launch products.
  • Topic subreddits that ban self-promotion. Answer questions there instead.

Launching from an AI coding tool?

Bentavo has an MCP server, so Claude Code, Cursor and other agents can list your app for you: claude mcp add --transport http bentavo https://bentavo.com/mcp. Then ask: “list my app on Bentavo”. Also free: the listing checker for App Store and Google Play text.
