Every "Product Hunt alternatives" list gives you names. Few tell you how many people actually visit them. That matters, because the gap is huge: Product Hunt gets about 3.7 million visits a month. The next biggest launch platform in our catalog gets about 486,000. Only three others clear 100,000.

What these sites are actually good for

  • Peerlist has the biggest audience after Product Hunt, mostly developers and designers. Its Launchpad is free.
  • BetaList is for pre-launch and early products, with a long free queue. See is BetaList worth it.
  • Uneed, MicroLaunch and TinyLaunch give you a scheduled launch with a daily or weekly leaderboard. Free launches often get a later date, and paid ones jump the queue.
  • Fazier, Startup Fame, twelve.tools and Findly have high domain ratings but modest traffic. Their free route usually needs a badge or link on your site.

Across all 118 launch platforms besides Product Hunt, 110 have a free option and 50 ask for a badge or backlink in return.

How to use Product Hunt alternatives well

Don't treat them as a second Product Hunt. Treat them as a launch week:

  1. Pick one main launch day on Product Hunt or Peerlist and put your energy there.
  2. Schedule 5 to 10 smaller platforms across the same two weeks. Each one brings a few dozen interested visitors, a listing that stays up, and often a dofollow link.
  3. Write copy for each site. Their audiences differ. A developer crowd on Peerlist wants different wording than early adopters on BetaList.
  4. Say yes to badges selectively. One or two in your footer is fine. Ten is clutter.
  5. Track what went live. Launch platforms are easy to forget a week later.
