About Firsto
Firsto is a daily product launch platform and permanent discovery database for startups, SaaS, and AI tools. Products go live each day at 08:00 UTC, compete for day, week, and month winners through community votes, and keep a lasting project page so discovery does not end when the launch clock stops. Firsto also maintains a curated directory of launch sites with editorial notes, plus a library of real product launch videos. Free launches wait for ~180 days ; Premium and Pro skip ahead with guaranteed dofollow links, and Pro can add homepage featuring and a mini review.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can Blastra submit my product to Firsto?
- Yes. Blastra submits to Firsto on your behalf as part of the standard service. We handle account setup, write the listing copy, manage approval correspondence with the platform, and keep the listing current as your product evolves. Firsto is part of every Blastra customer's directory mix when it's relevant to their category.
- Is Firsto free?
- No. Firsto requires a paid plan to be on the platform — there is no free option, even for a basic profile. Pricing varies by tier and is set by Firsto; we don't have visibility into your specific quote until you contact them. If budget matters, this is worth knowing upfront.
- Does Firsto have reviews?
- No. Firsto either doesn't host reviews at all or doesn't weight them in how listings get surfaced — it works on a different model, like editorial curation, traffic, or paid tiers. The value of being on Firsto doesn't depend on running a review collection campaign for this listing.
- Does Firsto accept beta or waitlist products?
- No — Firsto only accepts products that are publicly available. Beta and waitlist-stage products are rejected because the reviewers want to see something they can actually try before approving the listing. Wait until you've moved out of private beta and the product is purchasable before submitting.
- Can I list my SaaS product on Firsto?
- Yes — Firsto accepts product listings, including SaaS, software, AI tools, and hardware. Service businesses, agencies, and consultancies won't be approved or won't fit the audience even if they get through. If you sell services, look at directories with explicit Services focus instead, like Clutch or GoodFirms.
- What types of products does Firsto accept?
- Firsto accepts B2C (sold to consumers) and B2B (sold to other businesses) products. The audience covers both segments, so a product serving either (or both) fits the platform. The remaining buyer segment isn't a fit on Firsto — for that audience, look at directories built specifically for that motion rather than trying to cover it here.
