FAQ
ShipBoost is a curated launchpad and discovery platform for bootstrapped SaaS products. It features weekly, capacity-limited launch cohorts and a permanent directory to help founders gain trust and sustained visibility.
Free launches are submitted and placed into a queue for upcoming weekly cohorts. Availability is first-come, first-served within the capped capacity of each week, and they require badge verification.
Premium Launches allow founders to pay to reserve and lock in a specific launch week before the platform opens to the public. This skips the queue and verification process, guaranteeing a spot.
Your product listing remains permanently in the ShipBoost directory. It becomes discoverable through category pages, tags, and alternatives pages, providing ongoing organic traffic.
ShipBoost categorizes tools primarily into Marketing, Sales, Support, Development, and Analytics. Users can browse all categories or view specific tags like AI-Powered or Bootstrapped.
Alternatives pages list tools that solve similar problems, allowing users to compare options. This captures high-intent traffic for founders even after their initial launch.
ShipBoost is designed for bootstrapped SaaS founders, indie hackers, and early-stage startup teams looking for meaningful distribution and visibility beyond typical launch hype.
According to the site, ShipBoost opens on May 1, 2026 UTC. Premium launches can reserve a week early.
