The Featured listing spot
The Featured listing spot is the paid placement in the Featured spot on the homepage, marked as Featured. It runs for 7 days and costs $19. This is a promoted position only: it carries no vote, and it does not affect any ranking or leaderboard.
Who can get it and how to buy
You can upgrade to the Featured listing spot if your listing is live or already reserved for an upcoming launch week. To add it:
- When you submit your listing, choose it on the plan step
- After submission, sign in and go to /account/listings, then select "Upgrades and extras" next to your listing
- Check /pricing for the current rate
When your Featured spot runs
If your listing is live now, the 7 days begin straight away once payment clears. If you have booked a launch for a future week, the 7 days start on the Monday your listing goes live. Buying the Featured listing spot a second time while one is running extends your spot by another 7 days once the first ends. If you reschedule your launch to a different week, your Featured days move to that new week as well.
What it does not do
The Featured listing spot is separate from sponsored slots (see /sponsor), the billboard, and community votes. You cannot swap one for another.
