How we make money
1. The short version
Launchpad is free to browse. There is no paid membership. We earn money from labeled sponsorships, and they never buy a better rating.
Paid units are always marked Sponsored— never "Partner" or "Featured" alone.
Newsletter disclosure: if we send a newsletter, it is optional, separate from rankings, and would use double opt-in and a one-click unsubscribe in every email. Contact is email only (launchpadhq.admin@gmail.com). No newsletter provider is live yet.
2. Sponsored spots
Companies can pay for the clearly-labelled "Sponsored spotlight" and "AI of the Week". They are always marked Sponsored. They never change rankings, quiz results, workflow picks or tutorial verdicts. Sponsor guidelines.
3. Payments for sponsorships
Stripe is used only for sponsor invoices. It is not used to bill site visitors. There is no user subscription.
4. What we don't do
No paid reviews, no selling your personal data, no hidden placements.
5. How we check facts
Prices and free tiers are re-checked against official pages on a regular review cycle. If we could not confirm a detail, we say so on the page.
6. Questions / report a problem
Contact email: launchpadhq.admin@gmail.com. We do not publish a postal address; email is the way to reach us.
