The Featured spot
A Featured launch occupies the top position on our homepage, clearly labelled as Featured, for 7 days. You pay $19 for this placement. It's a paid spot only—it adds no votes to your ranking and makes no change to any leaderboard.
How to buy Featured
You can add Featured to any listing that is live or already booked into a launch week:
- When you submit your listing, choose Featured on the plan step
- After submission, sign in and go to /account/listings, then select "Upgrades and extras" next to your listing
- Check the current price on /pricing
When your Featured days begin
If your listing is live now, your 7 days start immediately when you pay. If you've booked a launch for a future week, they start on the Monday that week opens, when your listing goes live.
Buy Featured again while it's running and we add 7 more days after your current run finishes. If you reschedule your launch week, your Featured days move with it.
What Featured is not
Featured stands apart from sponsored slots (see /sponsor), the billboard (a paid money-contributed ranking) and community votes. None of these can be swapped for another.
