What exactly happens when Actuant “launches” my app?

An agent works through the launch checklist you'd otherwise do by hand: it writes your llms.txt, robots.txt and sitemap as a GitHub pull request, submits your app to 20 curated launch directories — filling each form live in a browser you can watch, and leaving the submit button to you. Anything that touches your code arrives as a pull request; nothing merges without your approval. Launch-copy drafting, analytics installed for you, and Stripe payments set up inside your app are on the roadmap, not shipped.

Does it work with my builder?

Yes. Actuant doesn't integrate with builders — it works on the app itself: the live URL, the GitHub repo, and your domain. If your app has a URL, Actuant can audit it; if it has a repo, Actuant can fix it. Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Base44, Cursor, Claude Code, or hand-written all work the same way.

I've shipped five apps. Do I need five subscriptions?

No. One account covers your whole portfolio: the free plan covers 1 app, Launch covers 3, Portfolio is unlimited. Re-auditing an app you've already added is unlimited on every plan. The Signal dashboard that compares those apps side by side is still being built — today you get each app's audits, fixes and launch work in one place.

Will you spam directories with my half-finished app?

No. The audit runs first, and the agent only submits when your app clears the quality bar — that protects your launch and everyone else's. We maintain a curated list of directories that send real traffic, not a firehose of 400 link farms, and the agent never presses submit for you: it fills the form and hands the browser back.

What does the free plan actually include?

One app, unlimited re-audits of it, the full launch-readiness score and report with per-check fix guidance, and access to the MCP server for your coding agent. Agent runs are metered, and the free plan's usage is a one-time $5 of credit — roughly 16 deep audits — not a monthly allowance. Paid plans add a weekly usage allowance, monthly credit, and the agent doing the fixing and launching rather than just the diagnosing.

Can I share a report with someone else?

Not yet. Reports live in your dashboard behind your login today; public, shareable report links are on the roadmap. Anything on this site marked “coming soon” isn't built — we'd rather you buy the plan for what it does now.

Concepts

Why Actuant's score is deterministic

Actuant's launch-readiness score is a pure function of what's on your page — the same URL always yields the same number. Learn why the model narrates but never scores.

Last updated 2026-07-18

Actuant's score is deterministic: run the same URL twice and you get the same number, because every check is a real, rule-based inspection of your page — not a language model's opinion.

The rule: the model narrates, never scores

A model can be persuasive and wrong, and it drifts run to run. So Actuant draws a hard line: the 52 checks compute the number with plain logic, and inference is only allowed to write the narrative on top — the "do this first" line and the tailored fix advice. The numbers never pass through a model.

Why this matters to you

Trust — a score you can't reproduce is a score you can't act on. Yours moves only when your app changes.
Progress tracking — because the scale is fixed, re-running the audit after a fix shows the real delta, not model noise.
Honesty — Actuant runs the same audit on its own site and shows you the failing checks. The number isn't marketing.

This is also why re-runs are the feedback loop: fix a check, run the audit again, watch the exact weight move. It's a closed loop precisely because the scoring is deterministic.

Audit overview

Actuant scores any app URL 0–100 across 52 deterministic launch-readiness checks — delivery, security headers, analytics, SEO, AI-search visibility, structured data, social, performance, mobile, trust, and conversion. Here's every check and how it's weighted.

Launch readiness

Launch readiness is how prepared a deployed app is to actually receive, measure, and convert visitors. Learn the fundamentals every app needs before it's worth driving traffic to.
