BetaList
Purpose-built for waitlists. Early adopters browse BetaList specifically to try unfinished products. Plan around a 4–6 week free queue.
BetaList has been the pre-launch listing since 2010. Unlike daily boards, it is not trying to crown a winner of the day. It is a catalog of betas, and the people who browse it are looking for something to try before everyone else.

A GEO-first directory. Instant listing plus backlink is paid; the free queue is slower. Not a substitute for Product Hunt — a vote in retrieval systems.
PeerPush is one of the first directories that says the quiet part out loud: the customer is no longer only a human browsing a board. The listing is structured so answer engines can cite the product when someone asks for tools in a category.
