Questions people ask
Is LaunchScaler free to use?
Yes, the basic listing is free: it includes a readiness scan, a permanent listing, and a dofollow backlink once your site passes the check.
What do I get for the $29 Premium launch?
Premium launch lets you pick your launch day and gives you a listing written for you from your scan, and paying removes the LaunchScaler badge requirement from your site.
What is the $59 review article?
It's a full review of your product written and published on LaunchScaler's blog, meant to rank in search for your name plus 'review' and be quoted by AI answer engines.
What does the $19 full audit add?
It unlocks all seven readiness checks with the underlying evidence and the specific fix for each, including deeper rendered-UX, AI-visibility, and backlink findings that the free scan only summarizes.
Can I get a refund?
No, the material states there are no refunds since everything purchased is delivered and consumed upfront.
