THE BOARD

A Fazier alternative where the position has a price instead of a tier

If you want a launch day with a vote, a page that stays up and a link from a well-rated domain, Fazier is a fair buy. On its submit page (read 6 September 2026) $29 gets you on without the wait or the link back, and $119 pins you to the top of the home page as a sponsor for fifteen days.

If what you want is a position rather than a tier, The Board lists a brand for a dollar, ranks every listing by what it paid, prints every amount, and counts the traffic with Fathom on a dashboard it cannot edit.

The Board is ours, so read this with that in mind. Every listing on it is a paid placement, its position is decided by money and by nothing else, and nothing on it is editorial. The figures for Fazier were read from its own pages on 6 September 2026 and are linked at the foot.

What Fazier is, and what it costs

Fazier is a daily launch site. Products go up grouped by day, each carries a vote count, and the home page keeps a top list for the week and the month. You sign up, fill in a name, a tagline, a description, a category and a thumbnail, and a person approves it; the same product may launch again after six months if it has changed enough. The site does not say in words how the day's order is decided. Third-party guides say votes, and the Lite tier's promise of a link for the top three daily products implies a daily top three.

Every tier is a one-time payment, and every paid one shows a list price struck through. On the submit page on 6 September 2026: Basic is free, reviewed and listed within 30 days, featured on the home page if selected, and requires a link to Fazier on your home page or footer. Lite is $29 (listed at $39) and publishes now or on a date you choose. Premium is $49 (listed at $69) with fifteen days of promotion across the site and a badge beside the name. Super is $119 (listed at $149): the top of the home page as a sponsor for fifteen days. The advertise page sells a newsletter slot at $39 and a fifteen-day placement across the site at $49. No refund policy appears on the submit page, the terms or the help centre.

The reach is Fazier's own. The advertise page claims 950,000 visits, 7,500 products launched and 2,500 newsletter subscribers; its Substack says over 5,000 subscribers. The outside estimates disagree with each other more than they disagree with Fazier: Launch Directories (updated 5 September 2026) puts monthly traffic at 253, LaunchPedia at 6,000, and a help centre page last updated 1 August 2024 reported 6,000 page views in a month. Nothing on the site is counted by anybody but Fazier.

The price of a place, and the price of the top

Two prices matter: what it costs to be on the page at all, and what it costs to be the one everybody sees first. Drawn to scale, with The Board’s top spot read live from the board.

A log scale: every gridline is ten times the last, which is the only way a dollar and a five-figure sum fit on one line. Prices on the left are Fazier’s as read on 6 September 2026; the top spot on The Board is $101 as this page was built and changes as the board does.

How The Board works, for somebody leaving Fazier

Fazier sells tiers; The Board sells positions. There is one price to get on, a dollar, and the listing is a logo, a line and a link at whatever rank a dollar buys on a page ordered by what each brand has paid. There is no Basic and no Super, no review, no thirty-day wait and no link you have to put on your own site. Nobody has to select you for the home page, because there is one page and every listing is on it.

The rule for the order is written down and it is short: the amount is the rank. Rank 01 costs a dollar over whatever the holder has paid, every amount is public, and the position holds until somebody pays more rather than for fifteen days. Hold the top for thirty days and the season ends: the standings freeze on a permanent page and every amount resets. Fathom counts the page views and outbound clicks and publishes them, so the number you are buying against is not the seller's.

Where Fazier falls short, and where it wins

Falls short
  • The site does not say how the order is decided. Each tier describes what it buys, and none of them describes the rule that puts one product above another on the day.
  • The free tier costs a link on your own site and up to thirty days, and the home page feature is only if selected. Free here is a queue with a condition attached.
  • The reach is self-reported and the outside estimates run from a few hundred visits a month to a few thousand, against a claim of 950,000 all time. There is no refund policy to fall back on if the number turns out small.
Wins
  • The prices are clear and paid once. Four tiers, each with a list, no subscription, and the two paid promotions have a stated length.
  • The page is permanent and the paid tiers come with a link from a domain Launch Directories rates at 83, which is a real asset for a site trying to rank.
  • The top of the home page is for sale at a fixed price, which is more honest than a voted top that can be worked.

Which to pick

Pick Fazier if
  • You want a launch day with a vote and a permanent page, and a link from the site matters to you.
  • You are happy to pay $29 to skip a queue you could otherwise wait out for free.
  • You want a fixed fifteen days at the top and $119 is worth that to you.
Pick The Board if
  • You want to know the rule that orders the page before you pay.
  • You want a position that lasts until somebody pays more, not a promotion that ends on day fifteen.
  • You want the reach counted by somebody who is not selling the tier.

Claim a spot from $1

A listing is a logo, a line and a link. Rank 01 costs $1 more than whoever holds it, every amount on the page is public, and the traffic is on a Fathom dashboard anyone can open.

Questions people ask about a Fazier alternative

Is Fazier free?
There is a free tier. Basic, on the submit page read 6 September 2026, is reviewed and listed within 30 days, featured on the home page only if selected, and requires a link to Fazier on your home page or footer. Every paid tier removes the wait and the link. The Board is not free; it is a dollar, and the dollar buys a position that stays until somebody pays more.
How much does Fazier cost?
Four one-time tiers on the submit page as of 6 September 2026: Basic free, Lite $29 (listed at $39), Premium $49 (listed at $69) with fifteen days of promotion, and Super $119 (listed at $149) for the top of the home page as a sponsor for fifteen days. The advertise page adds a $39 newsletter slot and a $49 fifteen-day placement.
How does Fazier rank products?
The site does not say. Listings carry a vote count and the home page keeps weekly and monthly top lists, and third-party guides say the day's order is by votes, but no page on fazier.com states the rule. The paid tiers buy placement and promotion rather than votes: Super is pinned at the top as a sponsor. The Board's rule is one sentence, and it is on the page.
How much traffic does Fazier send?
Fazier says 950,000 visits and 2,500 newsletter subscribers on its advertise page, and its Substack says over 5,000 subscribers. Outside estimates are far apart: Launch Directories (updated 5 September 2026) puts monthly traffic at 253 and LaunchPedia at 6,000. No third party counts the page, so the honest answer is that nobody outside Fazier knows.
Is The Board a Fazier alternative?
Yes, for a different kind of purchase. Fazier sells a launch day and tiers of promotion around it, on a page whose order it does not explain. The Board is a public leaderboard where every listing is a paid placement, the order is what each listing paid and nothing else, and the position lasts until somebody pays more.
What does The Board cost compared to Fazier?
Fazier's tiers run from free with a link back to $119 for the top of the home page. A listing on The Board is $1, once, and rank 01 costs $1 more than the holder paid; every amount on the page is public and nothing bills again unless you choose to raise.
What happens when somebody outbids me?
You move down one place and keep your listing; the amount you paid never goes down. One mail tells you who passed you and what it costs to take the place back, and you hear nothing more until you make a move yourself. Raise by any whole-dollar amount, or wait, which costs nothing.
Can other brands damage my listing?
They can, and it is in the rules. Four kinds of sabotage are for sale against any listing, each changing how it looks or whether its link works for a few hours and never what it paid or its real rank. Every kind wears off by itself, can be cleared early, and can be protected against in advance, and nobody is told who attacked whom.
Do I get a backlink from The Board?
Not one to buy the listing for. Fazier sells links as a feature of its paid tiers; The Board's outbound links go through a counted redirect, and the badge you can embed carries rel=sponsored, which is what an honest paid placement has to do. The position is for the people who see it and click it, both of which are counted and shown.
