How do I upgrade a free listing to a full launch?
Switch your free listing to paid. What it costs, what you gain, and how to buy it.
Updated
The cost
Upgrading costs $5 in US dollars. This is the same price as a new paid launch. VAT is added where it applies, and you'll get an invoice like any other launch.
What you unlock
Once you pay, your listing becomes a paid launch and:
- All profile sections open: founder story, milestones and demo video
- Your website link becomes a dofollow link
- The Alternative Biz badge is no longer required
- Your listing goes live immediately or in any week you choose
Your votes and reviews stay with your listing. The page address does not change.
Picking when it goes live
If your free listing is not yet live, the upgrade card lets you pick any week from the list, at no extra cost. 'This week' means live now. If your listing is already live, it stays live.
Where to upgrade
Sign in and go to /account/listings. Next to your free listing, select 'Upgrades and extras'. 'Upgrade to a full launch' is the first card. Press the button and complete checkout.
