About ClearedToLaunch

No hype. Just tools that work — reviewed by real sellers.

Why we built this

If you sell online — on Shopify, Etsy, Amazon, TikTok Shop, or anywhere else — you know the problem. There are thousands of tools claiming to grow your sales, save you time, or automate your business. Most of them are mediocre. Some are genuinely great. But it's nearly impossible to tell which is which from a marketing page.

Product Hunt is great for tech launches, but it's not built for sellers. G2 and Capterra are built for enterprise buyers. Nobody was building a place specifically for the person running a Shopify store or an Etsy shop who just needs to know: does this tool actually work for someone like me?

That's ClearedToLaunch.

What makes us different

✦Reviews from real sellers — not general tech enthusiasts
✦Platform-specific context: a Shopify seller's experience is different from a developer's
✦AI moderation on every review to keep things honest
✦"Still using it?" follow-up data — we check back at 30, 60, and 90 days
✦Before/After metrics from sellers who share their results
✦Ask AI about any tool based on real seller reviews
✦Tools don't disappear after launch day — evergreen discovery

Our principles

Honest over optimistic. We don't inflate ratings or hide negative reviews. If a tool has problems, sellers deserve to know.

Specific over general. A review that says "great tool!" is useless. We push for context: what platform, what problem, what result.

Transparent about what we are. We're a directory. Listings are seeded from public sources. Makers can claim and manage their listings. We earn revenue through featured placements and affiliate links — always disclosed.

Good faith with makers. We honor takedown requests quickly. We give makers the ability to respond to reviews. We don't hold listings hostage.
