Boringlaunch: $3K a month, self-reported, 7-day platform submissions
Boringlaunch sells startup directory submission and listing services for SaaS businesses. Its $3K a month was founder-reported on the Indie Hackers product page (not independently verified), as of May 2025.
What it actually sells
Boringlaunch sells startup directory submission and listing services. Its site says: “Submit Your Startup To 100+ Platforms In 7 Days,” and says it submits startups to 100+ free platforms in 7 days.
The service includes a detailed submission report, additional free platform recommendations and paid platform recommendations. Priority starts the submission process within 24 hours, and the site guarantees SEO improvement within 30 days of submission.
How it charges
The Basic plan has a displayed sale price of $149, reduced from $299. The service also includes additional free platform recommendations and paid platform recommendations.
Where customers come from
Visible reach comes through directory and platform distribution, newsletter exposure and customer promotion through X/Twitter posts. One user says they received newsletter exposure, while another says: “I used @notifyShivam's @boringlaunch to submit my AI tool to 80+ directories.”
What stands out
Boringlaunch presents itself as a done-for-you submission service. Its site says: “Don't sleep on his new "done for you" service.” The target customers are SaaS businesses, with the page stating: “Suitable For Every SaaS (Including API, Non-AI SaaS, Boilerplates, Directory etc.)”
The proof on the site is testimonial-based. One user reports going from 0 to 500 backlinks in less than a week, another reports 17k visitors in 2 months, one founder reports 107 new visitors after 8 days, and another user reports: “Traffic increased 10x.”

Where it sits in the data
Boringlaunch's $3K a month is higher than 53% of the 6,604 projects with founder-reported monthly revenue in our dataset; the median across them is $2K. Snapshot: 2026-09-30. The dataset only covers founders who chose to publish their numbers, so it leans toward businesses that work; use it for scale, not as an average.
Currency
All figures are in US dollars as published. A rough yuan or euro conversion is not applied here because prices, taxes and acquisition costs differ by country.
Could you build something like this?
In my view, demand would come from SaaS founders who want their products submitted to startup directories and free platforms. The buyer would be a startup that values a completed submission process, a detailed report and platform recommendations within a defined service period.
Distribution would require relationships with directory and platform owners, outreach to SaaS founders and visibility through channels such as newsletters and X/Twitter. The hard parts are maintaining submission quality across many platforms, handling support requests and competing with other submission services. Directory owners may also have rules governing submissions.
Verdict: Needs real work.
One thing to take from it
A focused service can package a repetitive founder task around a clear deliverable and timeframe. Boringlaunch combines platform submissions, a detailed report and recommendations, with a displayed sale price for its Basic plan.
