HTML: https://premiumlauncher.com/benefits --- # FAQs ## How many launches can I do? With your $300 per month subscription, you can submit premium launches across all 6 platforms. ## How does payment work? You pay $300 per month via subscription. Your subscription renews automatically each month, and you can cancel anytime. No long-term commitment required. ## Which platforms are included? Your subscription includes access to all 6 platforms: Aura++ (auraplusplus.com), Earlyhunt (earlyhunt.com), Indiehunt (indiehunt.io), Uno Directory (uno.directory), MakerHunt (makerhunt.io), and SideHunt (sidehunt.io). ## Can I cancel anytime? Yes! You can cancel your subscription at any time. Your access will continue until the end of your current billing period, and you won't be charged again. ## How do I submit products? You submit products directly on each platform (Aura++, Earlyhunt, Indiehunt, Uno Directory, MakerHunt, SideHunt). Each platform has a bulk submissions feature that requires your license key to be activated. Simply activate your license key on each platform to unlock bulk premium launches. ## What information do I need to provide for a launch? For each launch, you'll need to provide: product name, website URL, tagline (optional), and description. You can also upload a logo if you have one. ## Can I launch the same product multiple times? No, you cannot launch the same product multiple times. Each product can only be launched once per platform. ## What is bulk submissions? Bulk submissions is a feature that allows you to launch/submit projects (premium launches) in bulk. You can launch many projects at once, offering you a heavy discount instead of paying separately for each launch on each platform. This feature requires a valid license key to be activated on each platform. Once activated, you can submit premium launches through their bulk submissions interface. ## How do I use my license key? Your license key works across all 6 platforms. Visit each platform (Aura++, Earlyhunt, Indiehunt, Uno Directory, MakerHunt, SideHunt) and activate your license key in their bulk submissions section. Once activated, you'll have access to bulk premium launches on that platform. ## Is there a refund policy? You can cancel your subscription at any time. Since it's a monthly subscription, you'll continue to have access until the end of your current billing period. We don't offer refunds for the current month, but you won't be charged for future months after cancellation. ## Are premium submissions really free with the license key? Yes! Your Premium Launcher license key allows premium submissions for free. However, each platform (Aura++, Earlyhunt, Indiehunt, Uno Directory, MakerHunt, SideHunt) may have their own restrictions, limitations, or policies that apply to submissions. For example, a platform might limit the number of submissions per day, require certain content standards, or have approval processes. These platform-specific restrictions are respected and are separate from Premium Launcher's premium submission benefit. ## Do platforms have their own submission restrictions? Yes. While Premium Launcher provides free premium submissions through your license key, each platform maintains its own policies, restrictions, and limitations. These may include daily submission limits, content quality requirements, approval processes, or other platform-specific rules. You must comply with each platform's individual terms and restrictions when submitting products.

Premium Launcher is a monthly subscription. You pay $300, Polar issues a license key, and that key unlocks premium launch submissions on Aura++, Earlyhunt, Indiehunt, Uno Directory, MakerHunt, and SideHunt. ## The three steps 1. Subscribe at premiumlauncher.com/pricing and receive an AURA-XXXX license key. 2. Activate the same key on each platform's bulk submissions page. 3. Submit premium launches through each platform's own form. ## What the key does and does not do - It covers Premium Launcher's per-launch fee across all six sites. - It stays valid for the current billing period. Cancel anytime; access lasts until that period ends. - Each directory can still apply its own quality, rate, or duplicate-product rules. - The same product cannot be launched more than once on the same platform. Partner platforms validate keys at POST /api/license-keys/validate using platform ids: auraplusplus, earlyhunt, indiehunt, unodirectory, makerhunt, and sidehunt. HTML: https://premiumlauncher.com/blog/how-premium-launcher-works --- # How to run a six-platform launch day A practical order for submitting the same product across Aura++, Earlyhunt, Indiehunt, Uno Directory, MakerHunt, and SideHunt. A Premium Launcher key lets you submit on all six directories. The work still happens on each site. Treat launch day as six short submissions, not one mega-form. ## Prepare once - Product name, one-line tagline, and 2–4 sentence description. - Live URL, logo, and one screenshot or OG image. - Maker name and a contact email you actually read. - License key activated on every platform before you start submitting. ## A simple submission order 1. Aura++ if you want developer and tool traffic first. 2. Earlyhunt and Indiehunt for early-adopter and indie-maker audiences. 3. MakerHunt and SideHunt for maker and side-project discovery. 4. Uno Directory last if you want a curated listing after the live URL is stable. Do not submit the same product twice on one platform. If a site rejects or delays a listing, that is the directory's rule, not a Premium Launcher refund case. HTML: https://premiumlauncher.com/blog/six-platform-launch-day --- # License key mistakes that block a launch Wrong platform id, a shared key, or an expired period are the usual reasons a submission fails validation. License keys look like AURA-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. Platforms check them against Premium Launcher before they accept a premium submission. ## Common failures - The key was never activated on that platform's bulk submissions page. - The subscription period ended after a cancellation. - Someone reused the same key across multiple user accounts on a partner site. - The platform sent the wrong id. Accepted ids are auraplusplus, earlyhunt, indiehunt, unodirectory, makerhunt, and sidehunt. Uno Directory is unodirectory, not uno-directory. ## What to check first 1. Open the Premium Launcher dashboard and confirm the key is present. 2. Activate it on the platform you are submitting to. 3. Try one launch. If validation fails, email hi@premiumlauncher.com with the platform name and the time you submitted. HTML: https://premiumlauncher.com/blog/license-key-mistakes --- # What a premium launch means on partner directories Premium is the paid launch slot on each directory. Premium Launcher covers that slot. It does not override a site's editorial rules. On Aura++, Earlyhunt, Indiehunt, Uno Directory, MakerHunt, and SideHunt, a premium launch is a paid listing. Without Premium Launcher you would pay each site separately, or skip the premium slot. ## What you get - The premium submission path on each partner platform. - One key instead of six separate checkout flows. - The ability to launch more than one product during the month, as long as each product is new to that platform. ## What still belongs to each directory - Review, rejection, or delay of a listing. - Category, NSFW, or duplicate-product policies. - How long a launch stays featured on that site. If you need another directory in the network, the partner form is at premiumlauncher.com/become-a-partner. Onboarding is a one-time $550 fee.
