How launch weeks work and how to reschedule
Launch weeks run Monday to Sunday. Paid launches go live immediately or in a week you choose. Free listings queue about 6-8 weeks ahead.

The weekly calendar
Launches are filed by week, each running Monday to Sunday in UTC. The launches live this week are at /launches. Those booked for weeks ahead are filed under /launches/upcoming, where you can track what is coming.
When your launch is published
Paid launch. Your listing goes live immediately upon payment, or in any week you nominate when you pay—up to 12 weeks ahead, at no additional cost.
Free listing. Your launch enters the free queue and is published about 6-8 weeks out. Publication happens only once our badge has been found on your website. Both are needed for a free listing: the badge on your website and a complete founder profile.
Moving a booked launch week
If your launch is still ahead, you or a manager can reschedule it. Sign in to /account/listings and select 'Move the launch week' next to the listing.
- Paid launch. You may move to any week open to purchase, up to 5 times.
- Free listing. You may move to a later week only, up to 2 times.
- Live launches cannot move. Once a launch goes live, it is fixed to that week. To appear again in a future week, file a relaunch.
- Featured placements. Any Featured placement shifts with the new week, preserving its day count from the start of that week.
We send confirmation after each move is filed. Your listing remains live and counts toward the all-time leaderboard under Leaderboards once its week has passed.
