Is a Launch Llama backlink dofollow?

Short answer

No. On the live Launch Llama listing we checked on 10 October 2026 the link to the product carried rel="nofollow", so search engines treat it as a hint rather than an endorsement. On the listing we opened (DataFast), every anchor to the product, including the "Visit" and "Website" links, carried rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" in the served HTML. Their own pages disagree about the free tier: the pricing table shows the dofollow backlink as a +$39 add-on for free listings, while their llms.txt says listings on "free and Featured tiers" get dofollow links.

What Launch Llama costs

Free tier, plus paid. The pricing page lists Free at "$0 forever", described as "Directory listing + product page. Reviewed and published in ~4 weeks." Paid: Featured at "$99 /month (or $29/week)", and Instant Launch at "$39 one-time" to skip the wait. A separate free newsletter feature on launchllama.co asks you to "Place our 'As seen on Launch Llama' badge on your website" first.

Account and review time

Account: Required. Their submit page FAQ: "Do I need an account? Yes. Sign in (or create a free account) to submit a tool and manage your listing." Review time: About 4 weeks free, instant paid. Submit page: "Free listings are typically reviewed in about 4 weeks. Featured listings and Instant Launch go live immediately after payment."

Who Launch Llama suits

Makers who want a free permanent listing and a shot at the newsletter, and are not in a hurry. Read what you are paying for. Two of their own pages describe the free tier's link differently, and the listing we inspected, whose outbound URL was tagged as a featured tool, served a nofollow link, so do not pay for "dofollow" without checking your own listing's markup afterwards.

Step by step

  1. Open your listing. Copy the address of your live listing on Launch Llama.
  2. Run a link check. Paste it into a dofollow checker together with your own domain.
  3. Read the result. Followed passes ranking value; nofollow, ugc and sponsored are hints only. Sites change markup, so check your own listing.
