Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Julie, a bootstrap founder based in Phoenix. I built LaunchFree.io in one day — and here's exactly why.
On May 6th, 2026 I was trying to launch one of my own products. I went to list it on the major directories and hit a $300 paywall on the first one. A 90-week free queue on the second. A "free" tier on the third that buried my listing so deep nobody would ever find it.
I'm building on a tight budget. That $300 might as well have been $10,000.
So I built the alternative in a single day. LaunchFree.io — The Runway. A free product launch directory where every legal product gets a fair shot, regardless of the founder's budget.
✓ Free to list. Forever. No exceptions.
✓ Live in 24 hours
✓ Weekly newsletter — The Runway Radar
✓ Community upvotes
✓ No VC bias — built for bootstrap founders
If you're building something, go list it. It's free. It'll always be free.
Would love your feedback, upvotes, and honest criticism. What would make this more useful for you? 🚀
