Pricing
One price for listing on AXIS Launch: free. The only fee on the platform is a seller-only success fee when an auction actually closes.
Free, permanently
Every listing on AXIS Launch is free. There is no paid tier, no fee to skip the weekly batch queue, and no fee to buy visibility. Submit your listing and it goes into the next open batch — a real queue, capped at 5 to 10 listings a week so each one gets an actual review instead of a rubber stamp.
Listings don't expire either. Nothing here is taken down for lack of a renewal payment, because there is no renewal payment. The only things that move a listing are the ones stated in /auction-rules and our verification standards: a removed badge, or metrics gone stale past 45 days.
The free listing requires the AXIS Launch badge live on your site before it publishes. The badge is dofollow, and it's what makes listing free: it's the exchange, not a formality. See /badge for the snippet and what it looks like.
- Included: full listing page — gallery, description, maker story, similar-apps block
- Included: eligibility for the weekly newsletter digest, which covers every accepted listing
- Included: standard queue position, reviewed in submission order
- Requires: AXIS Launch badge installed on your product site before publish
Auction success fee — for sellers only
There's no fee to bid and no fee to list an auction. Buyers pay nothing to AXIS Launch at any point in the process. Sellers pay a success fee only when a deal actually closes, invoiced through the Escrow.com transaction.
The fee is 8% of the closing deal value, stepping down as the deal size grows: 7% above $250k, and 6% above $1M. There's no separate listing fee layered on top — the success fee is the only charge on the auction path.
Who it's for: makers with a PAID-connected listing and enough verified payment history to be auction-eligible, working toward a sale rather than ongoing discovery traffic.
- 8% of closing deal value up to $250k
- 7% of closing deal value from $250k to $1M
- 6% of closing deal value above $1M
- No listing fee, no bidder fee — sellers pay only on a closed deal
FAQ
Do I have to pay to list?
No. Listing is free, permanently, for every maker — there is no paid tier of any kind.
Is there any fee anywhere on AXIS Launch?
One: a seller-only success fee when an auction actually closes (8%, stepping down at higher deal sizes — see the auction section above). Buyers pay nothing, bidding is free, and listing your app is free regardless of whether you ever run an auction.
