Weeks and live dates
Launches group by week. Each week runs Monday through Sunday, UTC. Current launches display at /launches; those booked ahead appear at /launches/upcoming.
Timing by listing type
Paid launches go live immediately upon purchase, or on any week you select when paying—up to 12 weeks forward, no surcharge.
Free listings enter the queue approximately 6-8 weeks out. Publication occurs once we verify our badge on your site. A free listing also needs its owner's founder profile to be complete before it goes live.
Rescheduling a booked launch
If your launch date has not yet arrived, you or a manager can reschedule it. Sign in at /account/listings and select 'Move the launch week' beside your listing.
- Paid listings: move to any week available to buyers, up to 5 times.
- Free listings: shift to a later week only, up to 2 times.
- Live launches: cannot move. Relaunch instead to appear in another week.
- Featured placements: shift with your launch—same number of days from the new week's start.
We send confirmation after each reschedule.
