Who can review
Sign in, confirm your email and publish a live listing of your own. Then you can review other products. One review per product. 80 characters minimum. Hit publish—it goes live straight away. You cannot review your own product.
Product reviews, one page
Every Product review on Beast Launches lands at /reviews ("Product reviews" in the footer once there is one). Paid for by the maker, labelled loud, never editable by the maker. Community takes? Not there. They live on each launch's own reviews tab. No ratings, no averages.
Reply, report, hide
You own a listing? Reply once to each review under it. Edit or delete your reply later. The reviewer gets told when you reply.
Anyone can report a listing, review, reply or comment. When 3 people report a review or comment, we hide it pending a look from our team. Reported listings go to our team but never auto-hide.
Commented on a launch? Anyone signed in with a confirmed email can reply to you or the thread.
Follow companies, get updates
Hit Follow on a founder, product or company. Your notices page lights up with their news (set how and how often at /account/notifications). Companies post updates that live on their listing and collect at /updates.
Sharing and influence
Every launch has a share page. Grab text ready-pasted for X, LinkedIn, Facebook, Reddit, Threads, WhatsApp or email. One-click copy the link.
Influence is earned, not bought. Write reviews, comment, get votes on your own launch, sign in day after day. Higher influence can weight your vote more. Check your level at /account/influence.
Questions people ask
- Do I need my own product to review?
- Yes. You must have a live listing and a confirmed email address to write a review. You can review any product except your own, once each.
- How do reviews get hidden?
- If 3 people report a review or comment, we hide it until our team checks it. Listings are never auto-hidden—we look first.
- What is influence and can I buy it?
- Influence is earned by writing reviews and comments, getting votes on your launch, and signing in regularly. It cannot be bought.
- Where do I find the Product reviews?
- Go to /reviews. Only maker-commissioned Product reviews; community reviews stay on each launch.
