Free tools for the boring half of launching
7 free tools that all start from the same thing: your product’s URL. Script, brand, social, launch and search — the work that has to happen before anyone sees your video. No account, no card.
AI visibility checker
FreeAsks ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini — with live web search on — the question a buyer would ask about your category, and tells you if you come up.
The one that gets shared: seeing an AI name your competitors and not you is the most convincing reason to fix your presence.
2 free/day · asks 3 AIs →SEO checker
FreeTitle and meta lengths counted, headings, canonical, Open Graph, robots.txt and sitemap fetched for real, internal links counted.
None of the checks go to a language model, which is why the numbers are right. The model only decides what to fix first.
No sign-up →SaaS launch plan
FreeStarts with the question most launch checklists skip: whether you should launch at all this month. Then where, and what to do each day.
Every claim it makes has to quote your own copy back at you. If it cannot cite the line, it is not allowed to make the claim.
No sign-up to start →Website security check
FreeYour certificate, http→https, exposed keys in your page source, email spoofing protection and security headers — all read the way a visitor's browser reads them.
Every result is looks right / worth fixing / couldn't check. That third answer is the honest one most free scanners quietly turn into a pass.
Passive only · no probing →Social media strategy
FreeChannel verdicts — primary, secondary or skip — each with a reason tied to your buyer, plus ten posts specific enough to publish this week.
It is instructed to recommend fewer channels. Being told to skip a platform, with a reason, beats a grid nobody runs.
No sign-up to start →Brand guideline maker
FreeReads your live site and writes down what is already there: palette with hex codes, typefaces, tone of voice, visual language.
Most founders have made a hundred small visual decisions and never written one of them down, which is why page five drifts from page one.
PDF by email →Promo video script generator
FreePaste your URL and get three promo scripts taking three different angles — not three phrasings of one.
The useful part is rarely the script you keep. It is reading all three and seeing which argument your product actually rests on.
No sign-up →Not free — what pays for all of the above
Why they all start from a URL
Most tools in this category hand you a form: pick a colour, pick a tone, describe your audience in one line. The output is then only as good as the brief, which means you have to already know the answer to get a useful one. These read the page your customers actually land on and work from what is there — which is usually more useful, and occasionally more uncomfortable. If a tool comes back vague, that is rarely the tool failing. It read your homepage.
What is honestly not here
There is no keyword research, no backlink data, no analytics and no scheduling. Those are real jobs and there are good products doing them; we are not one of them. What these cover is the stretch between “the product works” and “someone has heard of it” — positioning, wording, where to show up and whether your page can be found at all. If you want the wider comparison including third-party tools we actually use, that post is here.
And then the video
All of this is the run-up. PromoHyper is the thing at the end: paste the same URL and it reads your brand, writes and voices the script, scores the music and designs every frame — no templates — in 16:9, 9:16 and 1:1. Your first video is free with a watermark, so you can judge it on your own product before deciding anything.
Questions
- Are these really free?
- The seven listed as free are, with no account and no card. There is a small daily limit on each because every run loads a live website and calls a model. The UI animation generator below them is $5 per animation because it renders actual video.
- Why give them away?
- Because they are cheap for us to run and they are the same steps you would go through before commissioning a promo video. If a few of the people who use them come back when they need the video, that pays for all of it. That is the whole strategy, stated plainly.
- Do I need an account?
- No. Three of the seven ask for an email at the point where they hand you a document you can share — the brand guidelines PDF, the full launch plan and the full social strategy — and each says so before you start. The other four ask for nothing at all.
- Who built these?
- One person. I spent fifteen years as a motion designer making promo videos, then built PromoHyper to automate the part of that job that could be automated. These tools are the steps that come before the video, and I use them on my own product.
