So what is Product Hunt?
The original launch leaderboard. Members hunt products every day, the crowd upvotes and comments, and the top of the board grabs Product of the Day.
It costs nothing to launch, and their launch guide is one of the most detailed around.
Built for
Makers with a crowd ready to show up on one specific day and a plan for every hour of it.
Where Product Hunt wins
- Sheer size of the launch-day crowd.
- Free to enter.
- Sharp feedback from seasoned makers in the comments.
How Beast Launches plays it
A launch there lives or dies inside a single day. Here it runs the whole week, then sits in the archive with its own page.
Their rules shut out company accounts. On Beast Launches your company shows up as your company, founders named on their own pages.
When launch day ends, our tracking keeps going. Your launch receipt logs Domain Rating then and now, referring domains, mentions in AI answers and the clicks we sent.
What you get in the pit
Whoever you pick above, here is the kit that comes with a Beast listing.
Paid launch: $5
Live now or in the week you name. A followed link to your site. The full profile unlocked: founder story, milestones, demo video.
Free entry
Put our badge on your site, finish your founder profile, and your free listing takes a slot 1-2 weeks out. The link back to you is nofollow; screenshots and comparisons still show.
Receipts, not hype
Each live listing shows what we measured after go-live: Ahrefs Domain Rating at launch and today, referring domains, AI mentions where tracked, and the clicks we sent. Refreshed daily. Zero estimates.
AI answer check, free
One free run per listed business: we ask ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity what a buyer in your category would ask, and show if you got named, where you landed and what they cited.
Votes nobody can buy
One human, one vote. Sponsors, Featured and the Billboard wear a paid label and add zero votes.
Our DR, out in the open
The pricing page shows our Ahrefs Domain Rating, live. Check the link's strength before you spend a cent.
Checkout, no account first
We make your account as you pay. Cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal, crypto. US dollars, VAT only where due, invoices from Zinn Digital® Ltd.
Product of the Week
Top three by community votes each week take #1, #2 and #3, with a badge on the listing and a share page.
Faces behind the product
Founders get their own profile pages, tied to their companies; paid listings can tell the founder story.
Domain records built in
Every listing shows its domain's public registration record. The domain age tool checks any domain for free.
