Free listing or paid launch on the bench?
Compare the free and paid options to decide which readout works for your launch.

Setting up your first look
When you submit to Rovexa Launch, you choose between two paths. A free listing gives you a basic profile on record. Your founder story, milestones, screenshots, demo video and comparisons remain locked behind a paywall. Before we publish, our badge must be visible on your website—this is a hard requirement.
The free queue readout
Free listings enter the queue in order. Expect to wait about 6-8 weeks before your sample goes live. When it does, you receive a nofollow link to your site. Search engines do not index thin free pages, so organic traffic from that channel will not arrive.
Paid launch: immediate and indexed
A paid launch costs $5. You unlock the full profile at once—no badge needed, and no queue. Your link carries dofollow weight and is indexed by search engines, so discovery can come from organic search.
If the baseline does not meet your needs, add-ons are on the bench: skip the queue entirely ($9), feature your launch ($19), or access extra categories and bundles.
Switching course
You are not locked in. Upgrade from free to paid at any time by visiting /account/listings and adjusting your listing there.
Questions people ask
- Can I launch free and paid together?
- No. Each listing is either free or paid. You can upgrade a free listing to paid whenever you choose from /account/listings.
- Do search engines see my free listing?
- No. Free pages carry nofollow links and are not indexed by search engines. Paid launches are indexed.
- Can I publish my free listing sooner?
- No. Free listings wait in the queue for about 6-8 weeks. Paid launches go live on demand with no wait, or you can add the skip-queue option ($9) to move ahead.
