NO PAID #1.
Rank reflects preference in neutral LaunchThrone matchups, not objective product 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 that week’s neutral matchup ranking. It does not mean best product, recommendation, award, investment merit or endorsement.
Provisional launches remain outside the official ranking until they meet the published valid-matchup and unique-judge thresholds.
Money and ranking
No payment can improve rank, exposure, qualification, Spotlight or Hall of Fame. Entry, competition and winning are free.
Launch Insights is an optional report sold through Lemon Squeezy. Purchasing it unlocks analysis only and has no effect on the board.
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.
