NO PAID #1.
Rank reflects preference in neutral LaunchThrone matchups, not objective project quality. Money never affects position.
Working launch policy · Last updated 6 September 2026 · Review with qualified counsel before public launch.What #1 means
The first position means a qualified launch currently leads the selected neutral matchup ranking. It does not mean best project, recommendation, award, investment merit or endorsement.
Provisional projects build comparison evidence before qualifying for an official ranking position.
Money and ranking
No payment can improve rank, exposure, qualification, Spotlight or Hall of Fame. Judging and drafting are free. Eligible Founding projects receive free permanent publication, once per verified account. Paid publishing is planned at €5.99 once per project and is not open yet.
Free Founding publication keeps its permanent conditions. Paid publication is a one-time purchase for one project, with no subscription or renewal. Published projects stay eligible for comparisons and rankings, subject to the site rules.
Audience and support
Traffic from founder-shared links is recorded as Community Support and kept separate from ranking votes. Owners and team members cannot vote for their own launch.
Fair Spotlight rotates independently from ranking and payment. It is not an endorsement.
Curated launches
A curated listing was added publicly by LaunchThrone. It is not sponsored and no affiliation, partnership, use or endorsement is implied. An authorized owner may claim it or request removal.
