## Key pages

- [Launch receipts](https://alternativebiz.com/launch-receipts): what we measured after each launch went live (Domain Rating then and now, visits sent), and the launches with the biggest gains
- [Launch playbook](https://alternativebiz.com/launch-playbook): what to do before a launch, on launch day, during launch week and after it - honest sharing, communities, replies, launch directories and relaunching (votes can never be bought)
- [Domain age checker](https://alternativebiz.com/domain-age-checker): free lookup of any domain's public registration record (RDAP): age, registration and expiry dates, registrar, DNSSEC, nameservers
- [Launch directories contrasted](https://alternativebiz.com/launch-directories-contrasted): every launch platform we track, ranked by Domain Rating (ties: more search traffic first), with AI citations, pricing and link type
- [Add your launch platform](https://alternativebiz.com/add-launch-platform): run a launch platform or directory? Add it to the ranking for $2, one payment; it is measured and sorted like every other row

- [Product reviews](https://alternativebiz.com/reviews): every published Product review on Alternative Biz, newest first - each commissioned (paid for) by the maker, labelled as such and never counted in votes, ratings or rankings; community reviews are on each listing's own reviews page

## API and MCP server

- [Developers](https://alternativebiz.com/developers): Alternative Biz REST API (OpenAPI 3.1) and remote MCP server, free within published rate limits
- MCP server (Streamable HTTP, OAuth 2.1): https://alternativebiz.com/mcp - add it as a custom connector in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or VS Code to search launches, submit a product by URL and manage listings; no voting through it
- [OpenAPI document](https://alternativebiz.com/api/v1/openapi.json)

## Link metrics we track

Many launch sites rely on Ahrefs alone. Alternative Biz puts the three leading providers next to each other on every listing: Ahrefs Domain Rating, Majestic Trust Flow and Citation Flow, Moz Domain Authority, Page Authority and Spam Score.

Domain Rating is re-checked daily for every listing. Paid listings get Majestic every 30 days and Moz every 30 days; free listings get Majestic every 90 days and Moz every 90 days.

- Domain Rating (Ahrefs): paid listings daily, free listings daily
- Trust Flow (Majestic): paid listings every 30 days, free listings every 90 days
- Citation Flow (Majestic): paid listings every 30 days, free listings every 90 days
- Domain Authority (Moz): paid listings every 30 days, free listings every 90 days
- Page Authority (Moz): paid listings every 30 days, free listings every 90 days
- Spam Score (Moz): paid listings every 30 days, free listings every 90 days

## Prices (USD, before VAT where due)

- Launch listing on this site: $5 (one-off, per listing). Launch straight away or in a week you pick, free of charge. Every section of your profile opens, and the link to your site is followed.
- Multi-site bundle (a launch on other launch & discovery sites): $99 (one-off, 49 sites). You only write your listing once. We put it live on 49 more launch and discovery sites for you, each with its own wording, and each edit you make later follows to all of them automatically.
- Done-for-you listing: $149.99 (one-off, 49 sites). Done for you on 49 other launch and discovery sites. Each listing gets a description written for that site, and one email gives you all the links.
- Featured launch: $19 (7 days). Featured on the homepage for 7 days from your launch week, marked Featured, and never counted as a vote.
- Home page: $49 (7 days). For 7 days the Sponsored slot on the homepage shows your company, logo, tagline and a link to your website.
- Category page: $19 (7 days). 7 days as the Sponsored company at the top of your category page.
- Weekly newsletter: $29 (one issue). A Sponsored place in one issue of our weekly newsletter.
- Billboard: from $5 (any amount, adds up). Money contributed decides the order, highest total on top. The Billboard says so, and it has nothing to do with votes.
- Additional categories: $5 (one-off, per listing). Add your listing to as many as 3 more categories. A one-off payment per listing.
- Product review: $19 (one-off). Your product, reviewed in a structured way from your public website and listing, shown on your listing and labelled as commissioned by the maker. Not a vote, not a rating.
- Editorial founder feature: $29 (one-off). One of our editors edits an article about you, the founder, written from your story and listing facts. Nothing made up.
- AI answer tracking: $19 (12 weekly checks, per listing). We put your category's buyer questions to ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity once a week for 12 weeks; each week you get whether you were named, your position and the other products named, with a trend chart.
- Add your launch platform: $2 (one-off, per launch platform). Add a launch platform or directory you run to the ranking table on Alternative Biz. It is measured like the rest and placed by the same rule; paying never moves it up.
