EarlyHunt
Same Hunt weekly machine, labeled for AI tools. Useful if your buyer is an early-adopter who already lives in AI Twitter — not if you sell payroll software.
EarlyHunt runs Monday 8:00am UTC weekly competitions with seven days of homepage time, voting, Hall of Fame badges, and the Hunt-network pricing trio (free with badge, free nofollow, ~$19 Premium dofollow). Copy and hunters are pitched at AI products and “what’s next” early adopters.

Same Monday UTC mechanic as the other Hunt weeklies, pitched at makers who will actually try the product. Useful as a feedback room; not a second traffic plan.
MakerHunt is a weekly launch competition for builders. Projects go live Monday 8:00am UTC, sit on the homepage for a week, and compete for top-3 badges. Pricing follows the Hunt-network pattern: free (often badge + nofollow), optional nofollow-without-badge, and ~$19 Premium for guaranteed dofollow and a launch story.
