In their words
RankCert is a weekly launch board where products rank on verified domain control instead of upvotes. Most launch platforms reward whoever brings the most votes, which favours big audiences and invites gaming. RankCert takes a different approach: every product's position is based on checks that prove it controls its own domain, and each ranking shows the dated evidence behind it.
The checks are re-run every week, so rankings stay current and reflect real, active products rather than one-day spikes. Visitors can see why a product sits where it does, and makers can see exactly what to do to climb.
Listing and verification are completely free. Verified products also get a dofollow backlink, which gives indie makers and early-stage startups real SEO value, not just a day of traffic.
Beyond the launch board, RankCert hosts more than 50 free developer and SEO tools, and none of them need an account. Whether you're launching a new SaaS, building your first backlinks or checking a site's SEO, you can start in seconds.
RankCert is built for indie hackers, solo founders, SaaS startups and SEO-minded makers who want visibility they've earned rather than visibility they campaigned for.

What is RankCert?
Products rank on weekly launch boards using verified domain control rather than community upvotes, tying each position to dated evidence that is re-checked every Monday. RankCert requires makers to prove ownership through checks on their own domains, preventing big audiences from gaming positions while giving verified projects dofollow backlinks for lasting SEO value.
Weekly checks and domain proof
The board opens every Monday and closes the following Sunday, setting positions through evidence-weighted scores rather than raw vote counts. Proof requires a DNS record or a file served directly from the domain, which the system re-checks weekly. A project that loses its record drops to the level its remaining evidence supports at the next audit, keeping the board current instead of recording one-day traffic spikes.
Developer and SEO utilities
Beyond the launch board, more than fifty free utilities operate without requiring an account or sign-up. These browser tools include meta tag checkers, Open Graph previewers, JSON formatters, UUID generators, DNS lookup utilities, robots.txt builders, and bulk domain checkers. Indie makers can audit title tags, track redirect chains, decode JSON Web Tokens, or inspect domain age using live RDAP data in seconds.
