Answers about the product, your AI, your data, pricing and credits.

Product

What is AfterLaunch?
AfterLaunch is the agentic growth engine. It checks how Google and the leading AI search engines answer when people ask what to use. It turns what it finds into growth moves on your Board, each briefed with its evidence, a working draft in your voice and the bar it must clear. It is the agentic stack that turns your AI into a growth engine.
What does the free scan check?
The scan checks your SEO, your competitors, and what ChatGPT and Perplexity say when people ask what to use in your category. It takes about 10 minutes, and your Board fills in as the scan runs. It is free and needs no card.
What happens after the scan?
Confirm your email and your 14-day trial starts. Your Board fills with moves while the scan runs, each briefed with its evidence, a working draft in your voice and the bar it must clear. Pick a move, finish it yourself or with your own AI, then publish it and mark it shipped.
Does AfterLaunch post for me?
No. AfterLaunch drafts, and you publish with your own click. You can edit a draft yourself or hand it to your connected AI to finish. When you mark a move shipped, it goes on your Scoreboard.
Which AI search engines does AfterLaunch check?
The leading AI search engines: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews. The free scan and the 14-day trial ask ChatGPT and Perplexity. Founder adds Gemini and Google AI Overviews and asks every question each week. For each engine you see how often it names you, the sources it cites and who it names instead.
How is AfterLaunch different from an SEO tool or an AI visibility tracker?
Those tools show you where you stand. AfterLaunch also turns each finding into a move with a working draft, and keeps a record of what you shipped. SEO and AI search sit on the same Board.
I already pay for ChatGPT. Why would I need AfterLaunch?
AfterLaunch keeps the record a chat does not: what AI search says about your category each week, what your competitors do and which moves you shipped. It ranks your next move from that record. Connect ChatGPT to AfterLaunch and it can read the record and help you finish each move.
How does AfterLaunch match my writing voice?
From writing you give it. Paste something you wrote, or a link to it, on the About my voice page in Memory. The more you add, the closer the drafts get, and you can change it any time.
How long before I see results?
Your first moves arrive while the scan runs. Changes in AI answers and search rankings take weeks to months of shipped work. Connect Google Analytics and the Scoreboard shows where your visitors come from, next to what you shipped. AI answers vary, so no one can promise a particular mention or position.
Is AI visibility just the new SEO snake oil?
Some of what is sold under that name is. AI search engines answer the same question differently each time, so one good answer proves nothing. AfterLaunch asks the same questions every week and tracks how often you are named over time. It also works on SEO and community threads, since AI answers are only one place people look.

Your AI and your data

How do I connect my own AI?
Claude and ChatGPT connect in your browser: paste one address into their settings, then sign in and approve. Claude Code, Codex and Cursor connect with one command, and so do other MCP clients. Once connected, your AI can read your Board and scan results, edit drafts and mark moves shipped. AfterLaunch never publishes through it.
What data does AfterLaunch read?
Your public website, the answers AI search engines give in your category, public search results and public community threads, plus anything you add to Memory. If you connect Google Analytics or Search Console, it gets read-only access and never changes anything there. AfterLaunch does not train AI models on your data. Email hello@afterlaunch.io to have everything deleted.

Pricing and the trial

How much does AfterLaunch cost?
$149 a month for Founder, the one plan you can buy. The scan is free, and the 14-day trial needs no card. Cancel any time.
What does the 14-day trial include?
Your Board with drafts, weekly checks on ChatGPT and Perplexity for your top 5 questions, connecting your own AI, the Scoreboard and a starter allowance of credits. Eligible trials can also receive morning X drafts on weekdays and LinkedIn drafts twice a week when there is material worth sharing. Pause either channel in Settings. It needs no card. On day 14 the checks and new moves stop unless you start Founder, and nothing is charged because there is no card on file.
What does the Founder plan include?
Every question you track, asked of ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini and Google AI Overviews each week, plus up to 5 questions of your own. Your Board re-ranks every morning. Each week AfterLaunch also checks your SEO and your competitors, and Community Radar finds Reddit and Indie Hackers threads worth answering, each with a drafted reply. Morning X drafts run on weekdays and LinkedIn drafts twice a week when there is material worth sharing, in your voice and yours to review. Pause either channel in Settings. You get a weekly report email and a monthly allowance of credits.
Can I cancel any time?
Yes. Cancel in Settings, under Billing, or email billing@afterlaunch.io. You keep access until the end of the period you paid for.
Do you offer refunds?
AfterLaunch does not offer refunds as standard. A free 14-day trial with no credit card required precedes any purchase, so you can evaluate it before you pay. Subscriptions are not refundable, and you can cancel any time and keep access to the end of the current paid period. Top-up credit packs are not refundable either, and purchased credits never expire, so nothing you buy is ever lost. If your situation is unusual, email billing@afterlaunch.io and make your case; any refund is at our discretion. This does not affect non-waivable consumer rights under your local law.

Credits

What are credits?
Credits pay for jobs you start yourself, such as a deep AI visibility scan or a full article. Everything AfterLaunch runs on its own schedule is included and uses none. Founder comes with a monthly allowance, and you can buy top-ups.
What uses credits?
Only jobs you start: a deep AI Visibility scan, writing an on-demand article, adding a competitor, or asking your connected AI for more moves. Scheduled checks, the drafts on your Board, marking a move shipped or skipped, and editing a draft use none. The app shows what a job uses before you run it.
What happens when I run out of credits?
Scheduled work carries on as normal. Jobs you start pause until you buy a top-up or your allowance refills at the start of your next billing month.
Do unused credits roll over?
Monthly credits do not: the allowance expires at the end of each billing month. Top-up credits never expire. AfterLaunch spends the monthly allowance first.
What happens to my credits if a job fails?
AfterLaunch puts them back automatically, to your monthly allowance or your top-ups, wherever they came from.
Does the $149 a month cover everything?
It covers everything AfterLaunch runs on its own schedule, with nothing extra to pay. It also includes a monthly allowance of credits for jobs you start yourself. Top-up packs add more if you need them.
