Buy a row on the clock
The home page lists launches by soonest deadline, so a row climbs as its timer runs out. A sponsor slot is a row in that same list, with its own deadline and its own countdown. Its price per minute rises as it climbs, which means the total price of what is left falls while you think about it.

Nothing is on sale right now. Slots open through the day: the home page shows one the moment it does.
Why the price falls while the rate rises
A minute near the deadline is worth more than a minute at the start, because by then the row is near the top of the list. So the rate per minute climbs steadily across the slot's life, and what you pay is the rate added up over the minutes you are buying. Fewer minutes, but dearer ones: the total comes down, the average rate goes up.
| Time left | You pay | Per minute |
|---|---|---|
| 24h | $288 | $0.20 |
| 12h | $198 | $0.275 |
| 4h | $78 | $0.325 |
| 1h | $20.63 | $0.344 |
A 24 hour slot whose rate climbs from $0.05 to $0.35 a minute. Every slot says its own numbers on the row itself, live.
How it works
1Pick what is left of a slot
Each slot has a deadline. The closer it gets, the higher the row sits in the list and the less time is left to buy.
2Pay for the time, not the day
The rate per minute rises towards the deadline, so the total for what remains falls. Early is expensive and long, late is cheap and short.
3It goes up immediately
We freeze the price for 10 minutes while you pay through Dodo Payments. Your row is on the board as soon as the payment lands.
4It comes down at the deadline
No renewal. If the board is quiet we may leave a sold row up a little longer as a bonus, marked OVERTIME. It is never promised and never sold.
Where your row shows
Inside On the clock on the home page, between the launches, ordered by deadline like they are: your row climbs as its own deadline approaches. It carries your site's icon, your name, your line and a tracked link, and it says Sponsored and what you paid. It never carries a face, a verified mark or a launch status, because nothing bought here looks verified.
And in the emails we send about launches while your row is live: the result email that goes to a launch's waitlist when its timer ends, and the weekly digest. Same name, same line, same tracked link, marked Sponsored.
Every click arrives on your analytics already labelled, with the source, the medium, the campaign and how much of your slot was left at that moment, so a link to https://your.site/pricing is followed as https://your.site/pricing?utm_source=just-launch.dev&utm_medium=sponsor&utm_campaign=clock-slot&utm_content=t-minus-6d04h&ref=just-launch. A parameter you already use is never overwritten, and a click from one of our emails says utm_medium=email instead, because an email is read hours after we send it and a countdown would lie by then.
After the deadline we sometimes leave a sold row up a little longer, marked OVERTIME with the timer counting up. It lasts in proportion to the time you bought, it ends as soon as a real launch comes within 60 minutes of its own deadline, and it is a bonus we never promise and never charge for.
Or be the punchline of an excuse
19 of the 19 slots are open
The excuses page files every reason founders give for not launching yet, by number. Nineteen of them have a product that ends them: “I'm still adding analytics” has analytics tools, “I'm still figuring out the pricing” has payment providers. Each of those nineteen carries one sponsor slot, under the excuse, and the sponsor is the punchline.
One sponsor at a time, one price: $39 for a calendar month. One payment, no renewal, and only one month can be booked ahead of the one running.
The other twenty excuses are about fear and perfectionism, and they stay clean forever: no slot, no price, nothing for sale. The excuse text itself is never edited and never sold either. Only the line under it is.
