RankCert is a weekly launch board where products rank on verified domain control instead of upvotes. Most launch platforms reward whoever has the biggest audience or the most friends willing to click a button on launch day. RankCert takes a different approach: every position on the board cites the evidence behind it, dated, and the check is re-run every week. The result is a ranking you can actually trust, where a small product that did the work can outrank a well-funded one that did not.

How RankCert works

When you submit a product, you prove that you control its domain. That verification is free and takes a few minutes. Once verified, your product earns a place on the weekly board, and its position is based on the proof behind it rather than vote counts. Votes still exist, but they only break ties between products with the same level of evidence. Because the checks are repeated weekly, a listing that stops being verified loses its standing, which keeps the board honest over time.

Key features

Evidence-based ranking: every position is backed by dated, verifiable proof, not popularity.

Free domain verification: prove ownership of your domain at no cost.

Dofollow backlink: verified listings get a permanent product page with a dofollow link to your site.

Embeddable badge: show your verified status on your own website.

AI-ready listings: every product gets a markdown version designed for AI answer engines.

Around 50 free tools: SEO and developer utilities that work without an account.

Who is it for?

RankCert is built for indie makers, SaaS founders and startup teams who want a launch that means something. It suits founders who are tired of upvote games, developers who want a credible listing and a real backlink, and marketers who want to show that their product is verified rather than just promoted. It is also useful for anyone researching new products, because every ranking comes with the evidence behind it.

Pricing

Listing and domain verification are completely free, and verified listings earn a dofollow link without spending anything. There is one optional paid upgrade: a one-time payment of $19 per listing. It unlocks a custom URL slug, SEO title, meta description and keywords, alternative-to comparison pages, FAQ structured data, and three dofollow links instead of one. There is no subscription and no renewal, and the upgrade never expires.

What money never buys

Money never buys a higher position on the board, the verified mark, or the removal of a competitor. The upgrade changes how a listing reads in search, not where it ranks. That separation is the whole reason the board can be trusted.
