Launch Radar · by Foundra
Rules that keep the board useful.
Free products get a real chance. Paid products get clearly labelled distribution. Nobody buys community rank.
Free and organic access
Every approved product may launch for free. Free and paid launches use the same organic leaderboard. Payment does not add votes, alter the ranking score, or suppress free launches.
Organic ranking
Rank is based on verified community activity, useful discussion, listing quality, domain trust, and launch freshness. Foundra may remove fraudulent, coordinated, purchased, or automated engagement.
Launch day
Each daily board runs from midnight to 11:59 p.m. Pacific Time. Community voting is only open during that launch day. When the board closes, votes lock and its final ranking becomes part of the permanent archive.
Paid packages
Launch Plus costs $99, Featured Launch costs $299, and Launch Partner costs $699 as one-time payments. Paid inventory is labelled as sponsored and is separate from organic results. Package inclusions are distribution and services, not guaranteed traffic, customers, revenue, or organic rank.
Spotlight and Fairbid
Launch Radar Spotlight is powered by Foundra’s separate sponsored Fairbid rotation. Bids run from $10 to $200, and max bidders rotate through its lead position. Fairbid payment never changes a launch’s community score.
Moderation
Foundra may reject fraud, impersonation, malware, illegal products, explicit content, deceptive destinations, copied listings, affiliate spam, or products that create risk for visitors. Makers must have authority to represent the submitted product.
Indexing
Publication does not guarantee search-engine indexation. Foundra only adds verified, sufficiently complete profiles to its product sitemap and may noindex, consolidate, or remove thin and duplicate pages.
Refunds
Rejected paid launches will be refunded to the original payment method. Approved packages are non-refundable after sponsored distribution or included services begin, except where required by law.
Changes and removal
Makers may request corrections or removal. Foundra may pause or change ranking, voting, placement, or moderation systems to protect users and platform integrity. Material rule changes will appear here.
Effective August 24, 2026.
