Uneed is a launch platform, also called a launchpad: a website where makers present a new product on a set day, and a community of visitors discovers, upvotes and reviews it. It lists tools, apps and startups, and its pages say it is made in the EU.
Each day has a new set of launches. Visitors upvote the products, and the top three of the day win badges; weekly, monthly and yearly winners also win badges and appear in the Uneed newsletter. A launched product gets a place on the homepage. With enough upvotes it also gets a do-follow backlink, a link from Uneed that search engines count when they rank the product's own site. Uneed states a domain rating (DR) of 75, a score from SEO tools that estimates how strong a site's incoming links are. Uneed also sells advertising spots, newsletter sponsorship and written product reviews.
A new product launches free when Uneed assigns the date at the back of a waiting line. Paid options let the maker choose the date or launch sooner, and a yearly Pro membership adds community features.
