Launchpad HQ

Launchpad HQ is a curated directory of AI tools for beginners and budget-conscious people. This connector lets Claude look up that catalog while you chat, so answers about which AI tool to use, what it costs, and what's free come with a date and a source instead of a guess.

What you can do:

• Find AI tools for a task, such as transcribing meetings or making slides, filtered by budget, skill level and platform.
• Compare 2 to 4 tools side by side: plans, API pricing, usage limits and platforms.
• Check what one tool costs and what its free tier includes.
• Find free or freemium alternatives to a paid tool.

How the facts work:

• Verified facts carry an as_of date and a source_url on the vendor's own site.
• Items without a verified fact are labeled catalog_only, and no source is invented for them.
• Every result links to its Launchpad HQ page.
• Sponsorship never affects results. Every result is returned with sponsored: false, and the connector code doesn't read sponsor data.

Prices change often, so confirm on the vendor's site before you buy.

The connector is free, needs no account, and can't change anything: all four tools are read-only. Each tool call logs only a random request ID, the tool name, the result count, timing and success. It doesn't log your search text, the assistant app's name, IP addresses, headers, cookies or request bodies. See the privacy policy for details.
