Why makers switch to Shipyard
These are the roadblocks we hit on other launch platforms—and the reasons Shipyard keeps the path to launch clear.
Launch on your schedule
Other directories left us waiting months for a slot or forced a paid fast pass. Shipyard lets you launch the moment you're ready—no queue, no artificial windows.
No paywalls to get noticed
Pay-to-play queues and backlink requirements bury smaller teams. Shipyard keeps placement merit-based—upgrade only when you want extra reach, not to be seen at all.
Insights without extra tooling
We built Shipyard Insights so your launch intelligence lives beside your listing—from analytics to competitor research and community sentiment—with a weekly run included for free and no extra setup or spreadsheets required.
How Shipyard stacks up
From the first teaser to the post-launch surge, Shipyard delivers the guidance, audience, and tooling other directories skip.

Discovery quality
Editorial review, daily showcases, and audience segmentation surface launches buyers trust.
Open-submission feeds, limited context, and high noise floors that bury emerging teams.
Launch preparation
Structured playbooks, reminder sequences, and collaborative workspaces keep teams in sync.
DIY planning across docs and chats with no support if a step slips.
Growth intelligence
Real-time analytics plus automated Insights reports that cover competitors, sentiment, and prioritized actions for your team.
Basic view counters—no intelligence on who showed up, what they said, or how to respond.
Post-launch momentum
Ongoing community spotlights, editorial newsletters, and syndication keep traction compounding.
After launch day your listing sinks down-page with little ongoing amplification.
