Frequently Asked Questions

AI Launch Space is a weekly competition platform for AI projects. Submit your AI tool, get valuable backlinks, and compete for weekly recognition. Think Product Hunt but specifically for AI projects and tools. Your submission goes live on the homepage for 7 days where the community can vote for it.

We offer two plans: Standard Launch (FREE) and Premium Launch ($15). Standard gets 15 shared weekly slots, lives on homepage for 7 days, and can earn dofollow backlinks by winning top 3. Premium gets guaranteed dofollow backlinks, skips the queue, gets premium badge, and has 10 dedicated slots beyond the shared ones.

Competitions automatically start every Monday at 00:00 PST and end the following Monday at 23:59:59 PST. All live submissions participate in voting. The top 3 submissions with the most votes automatically win dofollow backlinks and badges. Both Standard and Premium submissions can compete for these rewards.

Standard (FREE): 15 shared weekly slots, nofollow backlink by default, can earn dofollow + badge if wins top 3. Premium ($15): Guaranteed dofollow backlink by default, skips review queue, premium badge, priority placement, and 10 dedicated slots beyond shared ones. Both plans can earn badges for top 3 ranking.

When you select Premium but don't complete payment, your submission is saved as a draft. Drafts don't count toward weekly slot limits until payment is confirmed. You can resume drafts from your dashboard, modify details, or even switch to Standard plan. If you resubmit with the same details, old drafts are automatically replaced.

We need your AI project name, website URL, short description (10-200 chars), full description (50-3000 chars), category selection, logo URL, contact email, and optionally screenshots, video URL, maker details, and Twitter handle. All submissions go through a review process before going live.

Standard submissions are typically reviewed within 24-48 hours and enter the standard queue. Premium submissions get priority review and skip the queue entirely. All submissions must be approved by our team before going live on the homepage.

Yes! You can track votes, views, and competition standings in real-time from your dashboard. You'll see your submission's current status (draft, pending, scheduled, live, etc.), vote count, and ranking position during the competition period.

Standard submissions that don't win top 3 keep their nofollow backlink but remain in the projects listing permanently. Premium submissions always get their guaranteed dofollow backlink regardless of competition results. All submissions stay in the projects listing for future discovery even after the competition ends.

Winners are automatically awarded dofollow backlinks and badges when competitions end. You'll receive email notifications with instructions on how to add the badge to your website. The system automatically updates your submission's link type from nofollow to dofollow for winners.

You can edit draft submissions (unpaid Premium) from your dashboard. Once a submission is approved and goes live, you cannot edit it. However, you can contact us if you need to make critical updates to your live submission.

If you have a Premium draft that hasn't been paid for, you can switch to Standard plan from your dashboard. This will convert your draft to a Standard submission and remove the payment requirement. You'll then enter the standard review queue.
