Peerlist Launchpad and LaunchFill have the same shape: a board that opens on Monday and runs for a week. Peerlist sits inside a professional network of developers and designers and takes non-AI projects, but you need a verified personal profile, and only the week’s top 5 get a backlink.Source: Launchpad FAQsSource: How to launch a project on Peerlist Launchpad?
LaunchFill takes AI tools only, asks for no verification and has a person review every submission. It is also a new, small site, so its audience is much smaller.Source: Review guidelines

On LaunchFill you fill in the submit form (it can draft the listing from your site), choose a free or Priority launch and a week, and a person reviews it. We check that the site works, that it is an AI tool and that the listing matches what the site says.Source: Review guidelines

LaunchFill ranks by the votes each launch has when the week ends. Only signed-in visitors can vote, once per tool; a tie goes to a Priority launch, then to the earlier submission.Source: Weekly launches and ranking
