The verdict

HardLaunch runs high-volume organic creator programs for apps, with hand-picked creators, a campaign manager and its own software. It says its creators post 2,400+ times a month, and it shows a third-party view counter to back up its totals.

Its results are big but anonymous: a B2C AI app at 1.1B views in under six months, a study app at 350K downloads in four weeks at a $0.07 effective CPI. Client identities are only shared on a call, so none can be checked from the site.

It is the most expensive option here, from $30k a month with a 90-day commitment, and it turns down more applicants than it accepts. It fits a funded app that wants volume and can afford it.
