Security & Compliance
What is Launchstack?
Launchstack is a free, open-source AI platform built specifically for tech founders who want to move fast without spending a fortune on SaaS tools. It brings together document analysis, predictive gap detection, team management, and marketing automation into a single platform that you can self-host on your own infrastructure.
Most startup tools lock you into expensive subscriptions before you have revenue. Launchstack takes a different approach. You bring your own API keys, deploy on Vercel or Docker, and get the same capabilities that enterprise teams pay thousands per month for. There are no usage limits, no hidden costs, and no vendor lock-in.
The platform supports over 12 document types across 8 domains, from contracts and compliance filings to financial statements and research papers. Its retrieval-augmented generation engine gives you cited answers with page references, while the predictive analysis system flags missing documents and compliance gaps before they become problems.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know
Is Launchstack really free?
Yes, completely. Launchstack is open source under the MIT license. You can self-host it with your own API keys and pay nothing beyond your own infrastructure costs. There are no premium tiers, no feature gates, and no usage limits.
How do I deploy Launchstack?
You can deploy Launchstack on Vercel with one click, run it in Docker containers, or set it up on any server you control. The deployment guide walks you through every step, and most founders have it running in under 30 minutes.
What makes Launchstack different from other document AI tools?
Two things. First, it is completely free and open source — you will never get a surprise invoice. Second, it goes beyond basic document Q&A by combining predictive gap detection, team management, analytics, and marketing tools into one platform. Most alternatives only do one of those things and charge you monthly for it.
Do I need my own API keys?
Yes. Launchstack uses your own OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google AI keys for the AI features. This means you are not locked into our pricing and you maintain full control over your AI usage and costs.
Can I use Launchstack for my startup right now?
Absolutely. Launchstack is production-ready and already used by teams for contract analysis, compliance checking, and document management. You can also try the free demo on this site before deploying your own instance.
