Directory

# Where to launch,
ranked by arrivals.

Every other list of launch platforms ranks them by Domain Rating - a measure of the platform’s own SEO, not of whether launching there sends anyone to you. This one reports what founders measured. Where we have too few reports to say anything honest, it says that instead.

**What is and is not verified.** Every platform below was seeded from public information and is marked unverified until a human confirms it against the platform itself. We record no Domain Rating at all - we have no licence to a DR provider, and publishing plausible-looking numbers is the exact practice this directory exists to argue against. Traffic figures come from founders who launched and told us what they measured.
