Simple pricing. Serious value.

LaunchpadX is built for founders who are watching every dollar. The pricing reflects that. You are not paying for impressions, clicks, or signups that disappear. You are paying for real people who actually used your product, and real data that tells you whether it worked.

Compare that to what most founders spend chasing users through ads, communities, and cold outreach, and the math is not even close.

LaunchpadX Signals

$3 per response

Signals are public. Anyone can browse them, logged in or not. When a founder responds to a Signal with their product, that response is visible to everyone who views that Signal. Someone browsing out of curiosity, not even a tester, can see a Signal, see a founder's product posted as a solution, and click through to check it out.

Three dollars to respond directly to someone who already described the exact problem your product solves, with your response visible to every other person who views that Signal. Not an ad. Not a guess. A direct line to a matched person, with public visibility on top.

Testers post and browse Signals for free, always.

LaunchpadX Trials

You set the payout. We take 15%.

Set a payout anywhere from $1 to $50 per tester. You decide what a retained user is worth to you. We take 15% of each completed payout. That is it. The fee is only charged when a tester actually completes the milestone.

If a tester never engages with your product at all, the full escrowed amount comes back to you, including the platform fee. If a tester starts using your product but does not complete the milestone, the payout amount returns to you but the platform fee is retained. You never pay the payout itself unless the tester fully completes.

What you get in return is not just users. Every completed Trial generates verified retention data: how many people stayed, for how long, and how your product ranks against others on the public leaderboard. That data would cost you thousands through a traditional user research firm. On LaunchpadX it is built into every Trial automatically.

Example:

Set a payout of $10 per tester. Run a Trial with 20 slots. If all 20 testers complete the milestone, your total spend is $230 ($200 in payouts plus $30 in platform fees). If 15 out of 20 complete, you pay $172.50 ($150 in payouts plus $22.50 in fees). The 5 who did not complete cost you nothing if they never engaged, or $1.50 each (the platform fee only) if they partially engaged.

For context, a single user interview through a research platform costs $50 to $150 and gives you one person's opinion. A Trial gives you retained users and statistical retention data at a fraction of that cost.
