LaunchRepoChecked on September 17, 2026 — prices and features from AutoSaaSLaunch’s public website; verify before buying.
AutoSaaSLaunch is the closest thing to LaunchRepo in this set, because it makes the same three promises: pay once, unlimited products, your own accounts. It does it with a Chrome extension that auto-fills the forms of 18 directories while you click through them, for $29 in beta, with a hosted dashboard to track what you sent. LaunchRepo does it with 346 directory playbooks that your own AI agent works through, a product template, and a tracker cloned to your machine, for €99.98. Same philosophy, very different scope and mechanics — which is why this page is mostly about what “18” and “346” mean in practice, and what an extension can and cannot do that an agent can.
Side by side
Published pricing: $29 one-time, lifetime (beta). One plan is published: “Founding Member” at $29 “one-time • lifetime”, shown against a crossed-out $50, with “Unlimited SaaS products & launches”, “18 directories supported”, “More directories launching soon (Indie Hackers + more)”, a launch dashboard, “Lifetime access to all future directories”, “Direct support from founder” and a “14-day money-back guarantee”. The site is “Now in beta” and says “Price increases to $50 when we reach 30+ directories”.
| Criterion | LaunchRepo | AutoSaaSLaunch |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | One payment. No subscription, no renewal, no fee per launch. | One-time payment, lifetime: $29 Founding Member price in beta, rising to $50 “when we reach 30+ directories”. No subscription published. |
| What the price covers | One licence at the €99.98 launch price, VAT included. The price rises 20 % after every 20 sales; you pay what the checkout shows when you buy. | One licence covers the Chrome extension, the launch dashboard and “Lifetime access to all future directories”. |
| Number of products covered | Unlimited products you own and operate. The second product costs nothing extra. | “Unlimited SaaS products & launches” — the same unlimited model as LaunchRepo. |
| Who does the work | Your own AI coding or browser agent, started by you. LaunchRepo is a toolkit, not a service. | You, in your browser, with their extension auto-filling the forms: “A Chrome extension that auto-fills directory submission forms with your product details.” Product Hunt has an automation. |
| Accounts used | Your own accounts, in your own logged-in browser. Nobody signs in as you. | Your own: “All submissions happen through YOUR accounts” and “Sign in to directories from your own accounts—maintaining full control and ownership.” |
| What you own afterwards | The repository with 346 playbooks, your product.json and your tracker — cloned to your machine and yours to keep. | Your listings, in your accounts, plus the extension and dashboard for as long as the service exists. Nothing is cloned to your machine. |
| Directory count and source | 346 directory playbooks in the repo, each with preparation, form fields, blockers and what counts as a confirmation. | “18 directories supported” in beta, with “More directories launching soon (Indie Hackers + more)”. |
| Tracking of outcomes | Your submissions.csv and the local dashboard record draft, submitted, pending, scheduled, needs-you and live separately. | “Launch dashboard to track submissions” — “status tracking, approval monitoring, and analytics”, hosted by them. |
| Guarantees | None. Every directory decides for itself what it publishes, so we promise no listing, backlink or ranking. | “14-day money-back guarantee” on the licence. No listing, backlink or ranking guarantee published. |
| Own AI agent required | Yes. Bring Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or a browser agent; your provider bills its usage. | No AI agent. The extension auto-fills; you review and click. Their claim: “no bots, no API abuse, no account bans”. |
| Languages | Playbooks, templates and dashboard in English; this website in 12 languages. | Not published on the page we checked. |
| Best for | Developers who ship more than one product and want a launch process they keep. | A founder who wants to speed up a handful of well-known directories for $29 and prefers a browser extension to an AI agent. |
When AutoSaaSLaunch is the better choice
- You want the cheapest pay-once option. $29 lifetime is a fraction of €99.98, and there is a 14-day money-back guarantee.
- You do not want an AI agent in the loop. The extension fills the form, you press submit; no Claude Code, Codex or Cursor needed, no agent usage billed.
- The 18 supported directories are the ones you care about. If your launch list is short and mainstream, more playbooks add nothing.
- You want a hosted dashboard with approval monitoring rather than a local one you run yourself.
- You like being an early user. It is in beta, the founder answers support directly, and “Lifetime access to all future directories” means the list will grow.
When LaunchRepo is the better choice
- You want 346 directories, not 18 — including AI-tool, developer-tool, B2B and application-only platforms that no autofill extension can guess its way through.
- You want an agent that reads a playbook: what to prepare, which fields block a submission, what counts as live. Autofill fills known fields; a playbook handles the rest.
- You want the process on disk. Our repository, product.json and submissions.csv are cloned to your machine and keep working whether or not we exist; an extension and a hosted dashboard depend on the vendor.
- You want a shortlist derived from your product — AI tool, dev tool, B2B SaaS — instead of working a fixed list of 18.
- You want the tracker to distinguish submitted, pending review, scheduled, needs-you and live, locally, in a CSV you can grep.
Verdict
If you have a short, mainstream launch list and want to save the copy-paste for $29, AutoSaaSLaunch is a sensible buy that shares our beliefs about paying once and owning your accounts — and we would rather you use it than a per-product service. LaunchRepo is the version for people whose launch list is long, unusual or repeated: 346 playbooks, an agent that reads them, and a tracker that lives on your machine. Both are pay-once; the question is whether 18 directories and an extension cover your product, or whether you need the full catalogue and the process behind it. Neither of us promises what a directory will publish.

Questions about LaunchRepo vs AutoSaaSLaunch
What is the real difference between LaunchRepo and AutoSaaSLaunch?
Scope and mechanics. Both are pay-once, unlimited-product, your-own-accounts tools. AutoSaaSLaunch is a Chrome extension that auto-fills 18 directories with a hosted dashboard; LaunchRepo is a repository of 346 playbooks that your own AI agent runs, with a local tracker.
Which one is cheaper?
AutoSaaSLaunch, clearly: $29 lifetime in beta (rising to $50 “when we reach 30+ directories”) against €99.98 once. Prices checked 17 September 2026 — verify both before buying.
Do I need an AI agent for either?
Not for AutoSaaSLaunch: the extension auto-fills and you click. Yes for LaunchRepo: bring Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or a browser agent, whose usage your provider bills.
Whose accounts are the listings in?
Your own, in both cases. AutoSaaSLaunch states “All submissions happen through YOUR accounts”; LaunchRepo’s agent works in your own logged-in browser. This is the main thing both products get right compared with done-for-you services.
Does either guarantee listings?
No. AutoSaaSLaunch publishes a 14-day money-back guarantee on the licence, not on listings. LaunchRepo guarantees nothing at all — every directory decides what it publishes.
