Where your product appears when featured

Everything the featured plan includes, in detail.

Top of the Products page

Featured listings sort above all standard listings with an amber highlight card and Sponsored badge — visually distinct in every product grid.

Sidebar spotlight everywhere

A rotating carousel slot in the sidebar of the Homepage, Blog, Open Source, and Leaderboard pages — the highest-traffic surfaces on TechLogHub.

Onboarding newsletter

Featured products are included in the Step 1 onboarding email sent to every new TechLogHub member.

Transparent by design

Every placement is labeled Sponsored — trusted, clearly marked, and never disguised as organic content. Editorial review still applies.

Multi-channel discovery

Get found across every channel that matters

One listing, lasting distribution — free and featured alike.

Search engines

Every listing gets an SEO-optimized page with structured data, included in the TechLogHub sitemap and indexed by Google and other search engines.

AI assistants

TechLogHub publishes llms.txt and machine-readable listing data, so AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Gemini can find and recommend your product.

TechLogHub community

An engaged audience of developers and founders discovers, rates, reviews, and bookmarks your product — activity that feeds the trending leaderboard.

Newsletter & launch updates

The TechLogHub Pulse newsletter and release tracking put your launches and updates in front of subscribers who opted in to discover new tools.

Badges & embeds

Add the TechLogHub badge or launch card to your own site — a permanent, verified link between your product and its listing that builds trust both ways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers to common questions

How much does featured placement cost on TechLogHub?

TechLogHub offers two featured plans: a one-time plan at $59 for 90 days of featured placement, and a monthly subscription at $20 per month (promotional price, regularly $199) covering 30 days per cycle. There is no setup fee and no annual commitment. Payment is processed through Razorpay.

Where does a featured product appear on TechLogHub?

A featured product appears in the sidebar carousel on the Homepage, Products page, Blog, Open Source page, and Leaderboard. On the Products browse page, featured listings sort to the top of the grid with an amber Sponsored badge. Featured products are also included in the new-member onboarding newsletter.

When does featured placement start after payment?

Featured placement activates within minutes of completing self-serve checkout from the dashboard, once the listing has passed editorial review. Approved products go live with priority placement immediately after payment confirmation.

What happens after a featured placement ends?

The product stays on TechLogHub as a standard listing — the page, reviews, ratings, and backlink all remain. Only the priority position and sidebar spotlight stop when the featured period or subscription ends. Re-subscribing is possible at any time for another visibility push.

Do TechLogHub listings stay live permanently?

Yes. Both free and featured listings are permanent as long as they follow the content guidelines. The listing page, community reviews, and analytics remain whether or not any payment is ever made.

Is the backlink from a TechLogHub listing permanent?

Yes. Every approved listing gets a permanent product page that links to the product's website, and the link stays live after any promotion ends.

Can a featured subscription be cancelled or switched later?

Yes. The monthly featured plan can be cancelled anytime from the dashboard — the current paid period stays active until the billing date, then the listing continues as a free listing. Cancelling stops future charges but does not refund the current cycle. Re-subscribing later is always possible.

Is there a one-time featured option instead of a subscription?

Yes. The one-time featured plan costs $59 and provides 90 days of featured placement with no recurring billing. The alternative is the $20 per month subscription, which renews every 30 days until cancelled.

Are discounts available for startups or open-source projects?

Discounts for early-stage startups and open-source projects may be available case by case. Requests go through the contact form with details about the product or project.

How to sponsor an open-source project instead of a product?

Open-source placements are handled manually rather than through the self-serve dashboard. Requests go through the contact form and should include the project name, GitHub URL, and a short description.

Are sponsored listings on TechLogHub labeled as ads?

Yes. Every featured placement is explicitly labeled as Sponsored. TechLogHub never disguises paid placements as organic content, so readers can always distinguish editorial results from promoted listings.

Does paying guarantee a sponsored listing goes live?

No. Every sponsored placement passes the same editorial review as standard listings. Payment does not guarantee approval — the product must be real, accurately described, and relevant to the developer audience.

What is the refund policy for featured placements?

All sponsorship and featured-placement purchases on TechLogHub are final and non-refundable, including each billing cycle of the monthly subscription once charged. Cancelling a subscription stops the next billing cycle; the current paid period remains active until the billing date. Full details are on the Refund Policy page.
