Applauncher

Applauncher is the community-powered launchpad built for indie app creators and early adopters. Instead of competing for attention on crowded platforms, creators list their apps on Applauncher and connect directly with a community of engaged users who are actively looking for new tools to try.

The platform runs on a credit economy: users earn credits by signing up (50 free starter credits), leaving reviews, engaging with listed apps, spinning the daily reward wheel, and referring friends. Creators spend credits to launch apps (25 credits per listing) and can deposit additional credits into reward pools to incentivize community engagement with their apps.

Three pricing tiers serve different needs. The Free plan includes 1 app listing, 50 starter credits, and basic analytics. Pro Creator ($19/mo) unlocks unlimited listings, 200 credits/month, 2x reward multipliers, and advanced analytics. Launch Boost ($49/mo) adds 500 credits/month, 3x rewards, priority placement, and detailed analytics.

Key features include a curated app directory with search and filtering, individual app pages with reviews and ratings, a creator dashboard with analytics, a referral system, and a gamified engagement model that keeps the community active. Applauncher is designed for indie hackers, solo founders, and small teams who need their first 100 users without a marketing budget.
