Launching Next is a showcase of new startups and projects. Its homepage says it has featured 45,669 startups, lists the newest ones with a screenshot and a one-line pitch, and runs a Friday newsletter for more than 5,000 founders. Its submit page says submitting is free, and that a startup is reviewed every day, with an email if it is published. A $99 upgrade on the next page asks for the startup to be considered for publication within one business day. The pages checked do not state a free review time, a backlink type or required form fields.

👍 Good boy
+Submission is free
+Each submission is reviewed every day
+The $99 upgrade gives a one business day consideration window
+Each listing includes a screenshot and a short pitch
👎 Watch out
−Submission is free but publication is not promised: the email only arrives if the startup is published
−The pages checked do not state a free review time, a backlink type or required fields
−The $99 upgrade asks for consideration within one business day, not a guaranteed listing
−The pages checked do not list eligibility rules
The catch
Free does not guarantee a listing. You get an email only if the startup is published, and the free review time is not stated.
