New Site Radar vs Launching Next
Disclosure: we build New Site Radar. Everything below about Launching Next comes from its public pages as we read them on October 4, 2026 (sources at the bottom). Products change; if something here is out of date, email hello@newsiteradar.com and we will fix it.
Launching Next publishes new tech startups and side projects, with listings readers can browse by tag and a weekly email briefing. New Site Radar narrows discovery to AI tool websites registered in 2025 or later that are gaining traffic.

When New Site Radar is the better fit

- You want to query the data from Claude Code, Cursor or Codex over MCP.
Try it: the growth rankings have a free monthly sample, and Pro shows the full board.
