New Site Radar vs Microlaunch
Disclosure: we build New Site Radar. Everything below about Microlaunch 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 Products change; if something here is out of date, email hello@newsiteradar.com and we will fix it.
Microlaunch is a product launch platform for makers and startups, with 30-day campaigns that include exposure, feedback and reviews. New Site Radar instead provides monthly traffic rankings for investigating recently registered AI tool sites in a niche.

When New Site Radar is the better fit

- You want to know how far to trust each number: every figure is checked against a second source where one exists, and the evidence is on the site page (see the methodology).
- 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.
