# SpacerrApps

> New apps from the people who build them, each on its own page so you can tell in a minute whether it is for you.

## About

SpacerrApps publishes write-ups of software products, mostly small independent apps.
Developers submit their own app, and every submission is reviewed by a person before it
appears anywhere on the site. There is a free tier, three one-time launches, one subscription and one
paid board, and the difference is worth knowing when citing a page:

- Free: any number of apps, each with a directory page at /apps/<slug> and one followed link from it. A free listing launches on the first Monday at least four weeks out with a free slot, once the site's badge is on the app's own site, its owner has pressed Verify and has upvoted three other apps. It is not drafted a write-up.
- Quick Launch ($15 once): launches on the day the buyer picks, from tomorrow, once a person approves it, no badge, a Featured badge on the listing, one write-up read by an editor, and a card in the rails of the launches page and beside every app page for 7 days from launch.
- Featured Launch ($30 once): launches on the day the buyer picks, from tomorrow, once a person approves it, no badge, a Featured badge on the listing, one write-up read by an editor, and a card in the rails of the launches page and beside every app page for 30 days from launch.
- Premium Launch ($199 once): launches on the day the buyer picks, from tomorrow, once a person approves it, no badge, a Featured badge on the listing, one write-up read by an editor, and a card in the rails of the launches page and beside every app page for 90 days from launch. Includes one post from the site's X account.
- Advertise ($39/month per app): one app's card in the rails for as long as it bills, and that app launches on approval with a write-up and no badge. Cancelled whenever; the card runs to the end of the paid period.
- Outrank (one payment from $15): a row on /outrank, ranked by the amount paid. Its link carries rel="sponsored" and passes no ranking credit.

Every generated draft is reviewed and published by a human editor before it appears.

THE WRITE-UP COMES WITH A PAID LAUNCH OR ADVERTISE, since 2026-09-28, and is not drafted for
a free listing (an editor can still write one by hand). It is one article per app, ever,
drafted at launch, and an editor can decline it. Because it is a paid perk, the link from a
write-up to the app's site carries rel="sponsored". The link from a listing page is followed
on every tier and is not for sale. Money buys no say in the copy, no followed link and no
ranking credit.

The cards in the rails, the Featured badge and the entries on /sponsors are paid placements: labelled as such, links marked sponsored, no ranking credit. Launching today starts at $15; Advertise is the only subscription.

## Launches

Since July 30, 2026, 527 builders have launched 592 apps on SpacerrApps. A new batch launches every Monday at 08:00 UTC, visitors upvote through the week, and every week and every month keeps its own page of what launched in it.

## Questions

### Is SpacerrApps a free app directory?

Yes. Listing a SaaS, web, desktop or mobile app is free, for any number of apps, and no card is asked for. Every approved app gets its own page in the directory, a place in a launch week where upvotes decide the order, and one followed link back to its site that stays up for good.

### How long does a free listing wait?

Four weeks at the least, and longer when the queue is full. Free listings share 40 slots a Monday, so a new one takes the first Monday at least four weeks out that still has room, and the wizard shows the date. Two things have to be done by then: the SpacerrApps badge is in the footer of your app's own site and verified from your dashboard, and you have upvoted three other apps in the wizard. Any paid launch skips the wait and the badge.

### Does a free listing get a write-up?

Not since September 28, 2026. The write-up comes with a paid launch or with Advertise: one article about the app, drafted at launch, read by an editor who can decline it, and because it is a paid perk its link to your site is marked sponsored. An editor can still write about a free app by hand, so the honest word is not included rather than never.

### What is for sale?

Three one-time launches: Quick Launch at $15 for 7 days in the rails, Featured Launch at $30 for 30 days in the rails, Premium Launch at $199 for 90 days in the rails. Each launches on the day you pick, from tomorrow up to 60 days out, needs no badge, includes the write-up and puts a Featured badge on the listing. One subscription, Advertise at $39 a month per app, cancelled whenever: that app's card in the rails for as long as it bills, and its launch on approval. And a row on the Outrank board, one payment from $15. Launching today starts at $15.

### Is a paid launch still reviewed?

Yes. A person reads every submission, paid or not, usually within hours for a paid one, and it launches on your day once approved. A paid launch we decline is refunded in full without being asked. One that has gone live is final, and the Terms are the binding version.

### Does paying change the write-up or the links?

No. The write-up is drafted from what you told us and read by an editor before it is published; paying does not buy a say in it, and facts get corrected while opinions do not get rewritten. The link from your listing page is followed on every tier, the link in the write-up is marked sponsored on every tier, and no payment moves a link from one to the other.

## Submitting an app

Anyone can submit an app at https://spacerrapps.com/submit. You sign in, describe
the app in your own words, then pick a launch. Nothing is charged before that step and there
is no invitation. A person reviews it. A free listing waits for a free Monday slot, four
weeks out or more; a paid one launches on the day its owner picks, from tomorrow.

Submitting is free for any number of apps: each gets its own page and one followed link back to the app's own site,
which stay online. A person reviews every submission before any of it is published, so a
listing here is an editorial decision rather than an automatic directory entry.
