EnglishWhat kinds of deals and discounts does First Launch feature?
Updated
First Launch is a curated directory of newly launched software, and it only accepts offers that clear a specific bar: at least 25% off, a free month or longer, or a lifetime deal. Anything weaker doesn't get listed. The site currently advertises "over US$5,500 of savings to be found" across its picks, spanning categories like AI tools, productivity apps, privacy software, and social/marketing products.
The three deal formats it accepts
Every listing on First Launch falls into one of these buckets:
| Deal type | What it means | Examples from the page |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage discount | A price cut of 25% or more | Extrovert −50%, PostWing −30%, Flamio −25% |
| Free access | Free product or free tier, sometimes standing in for a trial | Jarq FREE, Sellio FREE, CogniFocus FREE |
| Lifetime deal | One-time purchase for permanent access | Tellie LIFETIME, OTPfill LIFETIME, Vitals LIFETIME |
The 25% floor is the key filter. You'll see discounts ranging from exactly −25% (Flamio, Shieldra, BeagleLathe) up to −80% (Psst), with −30% and −50% being the most common tiers. Free and lifetime offers appear alongside the percentage deals rather than as a separate section.
How the deals are organized on the page
The directory groups offers into several browsable sections rather than one flat list:
- This week's picks — the current rotation of featured launches
- Most loved — the offers getting the most attention
- Ending soon — deals with a closing window
- Newest launches — the most recently added products
This matters if you're deciding whether to check back: "Ending soon" implies time-limited offers, while "Newest launches" and the weekly curation suggest the inventory rotates. The page also invites visitors to "Be the first to know when something new drops," which points to a recurring update cycle rather than a static catalog.
What kinds of software you'll find
The listings skew heavily toward SaaS and small software products. Recurring categories include:
- AI tools — Veltrix AI, Syllaby AI Avatar 2.0, Scavio AI, InkieAI, MachineTranslation.com
- Productivity and focus — CogniFocus, ExtraBrain, QuotaMint, ZenMode OS
- Privacy and security — Shieldra, CybeDefend, LuaLock
- Marketing and social — GoodSocials, ZenABM, LaunchReel, PostWing
- Utilities and niche apps — StowQR, OTPfill, Puff Counter, SongFlip
Because the directory is built around new launches, expect early-stage products rather than established names — which is also why lifetime deals and steep discounts show up so often.
How to judge whether a deal fits your needs
The discount size alone doesn't tell you much. A few practical checks before you commit:
- Match the deal type to your commitment level. If you just want to test a tool, a FREE listing or a percentage discount is lower-risk than a LIFETIME purchase.
- Check the "Ending soon" section first if you're comparing options — those are the ones with a closing window.
- Treat lifetime deals as a bet on the product's longevity. A LIFETIME offer from a brand-new launch is only valuable if the product keeps running; that's a different calculation than a −50% discount on your first year.
- Note that the page shows a savings total, not per-product pricing. The "over US$5,500" figure is an aggregate across listings, so use it as a signal of overall deal depth, not as a number tied to any single product.
If your goal is simply to see what's newly discounted in a given category, the weekly curation and category spread make First Launch a reasonable starting point — provided you're comfortable evaluating early-stage products on their own merits.
