Where you launch decides more than when.
We read every launch day on several platforms after it closes and keep what it held — the size of the field and what each placement cost. No estimates, no survey, no round numbers from somebody's blog. It is the only honest way to answer the question every founder skips: is this the right place to launch at all?
What we measure, every day
Every launch day, on several launch platforms, read after it has closed and kept: how many products entered, what the day's winner scored, what each placement cost, and where the field thins out. Not a survey, not an estimate, not a round number from a blog post — the day as it actually happened. One more day is added every day.
We do not publish the tables. They are what both paid products are built on, and a founder deciding where to launch gets more out of those numbers read against their own product and their own reach than out of a spreadsheet to interpret.
Why it matters where you launch
Most launch advice is written as though there were one place to launch and one way to do it. There is not. The platforms differ by more than an order of magnitude in how many products they take a day and in what a visible placement costs — and the reach a founder can bring on the day decides which of those rooms is winnable.
That is a question with a measured answer, and it is the first thing the review settles: not "how do I launch better", but where your reach is actually enough to be seen. Almost nobody asks it, because almost nobody has counted.
