VERDICT

Should I use Microlaunch?

Launch platform for makers & startups to distribute products, get feedback and make first sales. - microlaunch.net

Worth it. Buy if you're an indie maker or micro-SaaS wanting a cheap launch listing, feedback and a backlink. Skip it if you need guaranteed traffic, a big-launch spike, or vendor-grade security and support.

Confidence

Medium. Based on ~30 public sources; independent user-review data is thin and most promotion is founder-driven.

Gotchas - check before you buy

medium

Free launch may get little visibility; guides recommend Premium if budget allows.

30k+ reach is the platform's own claim — verify before paying.

No public security page; fine for a listing, not for data-heavy integrations.
