About CodeHype
CodeHype is a launch directory for AI tools, SaaS products, agents and developer products. Founders submit a product website and get a permanent product page with a backlink. The pitch is that a listing helps the product show up on Google, in AI search and in LLMs such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Grok.
Visitors can browse launches week by week, with upvote counts and rankings. Products are sorted into categories such as AI Agents, Developer Tools, Finance, Design and Education. There is also a blog and a section of directories.
Launching is free. Makers can pay for Plus or Pro "verified" badges, and sponsored ad slots on the launch feed start at $20 per week.
About ProductPerch
ProductPerch is a launch platform for indie makers on a fixed UTC schedule. Products go live at 00:00 UTC and get 24 hours of upvotes from signed-in members. A daily email digest goes out at 08:00 UTC, and ranks are frozen when the day ends. Each day has 12 free slots, 3 of them reserved for open-source projects, plus 8 paid slots.
To submit, you paste a URL and AI drafts the name, tagline, description and FAQ. You then edit the draft and add a logo and up to 6 screenshots. Free launches get the next open day. Paid launches start at $19 and let you choose any date up to 60 days out. Ranking is by upvotes only, one per account. Paid placements carry a Featured or Sponsored label and get no rank boost.
Open-source projects show stars, license and last commit pulled from the GitHub API. Verified repos get a dofollow link without placing a badge. The top 3 each day get a Product of the Day badge and a dofollow link. Other free launches get a dofollow link only if they place the badge, and are nofollow otherwise.
