Capterra
G2’s older cousin for “best X software” queries. High intent, high effort, optional PPC. Not a launch party.
Capterra is how a lot of non-Twitter businesses still shortlist software. Category pages rank. Reviews — if you can get them — convert. You can also buy clicks. None of that is a Product Hunt day.

SelectHub runs category reports and RFP-style matching. Getting on a requirements grid is the prize. There is no launch day. Analyst-flavored outbound is common.
Buyers (or SelectHub researchers) compare tools against requirement checklists. If you sell into categories they cover, a complete profile can put you in shortlists you would not see on Product Hunt.
