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.

How to improve your launch-readiness score fast

A tactical guide to raising your Actuant launch-readiness score quickly — which checks to fix first by weight, how to chase partials for half-credit, and how to verify with re-runs.

Last updated 2026-07-18

Want the number up fast? Fix in weight order and chase the half-credit partials. Here's the exact sequence.

1. Sort your fails by weight

The audit weights checks unequally. Fixing a failed Analytics check (weight 16) moves the needle far more than a favicon (weight 3). Always start with the heaviest fail.

If this is failing	Points at stake	Effort
Analytics	16	One script tag
Title & description	8	Two lines
Search indexing	8	Two files
AI-search visibility	8	One file
Social preview	6	Three meta tags
Readable without JS	5	Server-render the landing page
Payment path	6	A Stripe Payment Link

2. Convert partials to passes

A partial already earns half the weight — finishing it is the cheapest full point on the board. "GTM present, add analytics" or "title present, add description" are minutes of work for real points.

3. Sweep the quick wins

Favicon (3), viewport (5), and a second social link (4) are near-instant fixes. Do them in one pass.

4. Re-run the audit to verify

The score is deterministic, so a re-run shows the exact delta. Fix, re-run, repeat — it's a closed feedback loop. If you're connected over MCP, your agent can fix and re-run in the same session.

On the Launch plan, Actuant opens the one-file fixes (metadata, llms.txt, sitemap, viewport, favicon) as a pull request you review and merge. Re-run the audit once it's merged to watch the score move.

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.

Deterministic scoring

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.
