Every platform we rank
Launch boards, communities, directories, review sites, and GEO listings. Search, then filter by type, cadence, cost, or backlink.
75 platforms
#1
Hacker News
A Show HN post is plain text, no scheduling, and no gallery. Most sink. The ones that connect can outdraw a #1 Product Hunt day and rank in Google for years.
#2
There's An AI For That
If you are an AI product, you list here. Traffic is comparison-shaped, not launch-day-shaped. Task pages compound for months.
#3
Trustpilot
Trustpilot is a review graph consumers and assistants already know. Empty profiles look worse than no profile. Star ratings are not a launch.
#4
Capterra
G2’s older cousin for “best X software” queries. High intent, high effort, optional PPC. Not a launch party.
#5
Chrome Web Store
If the product is a browser extension, this is the launch. Google’s review, listing quality, and ratings are the game. Product Hunt is optional theater afterward.
#6
Crunchbase
Claim your organization page. Keep funding, team, and description true. This is entity SEO, not a launch. Pro is a data product, not a ranking you can buy.
#7
GitHub
For OSS and anything with a public repo, GitHub is the canonical artifact. Releases, README, and Topics matter. Trending cannot be booked. Assistants already cite repos.
#8
Product Hunt
The default launch day for software. Highest ceiling, highest variance, and still the badge press and AI assistants recognize first.
#9
Toolify
Second catalog you list on after TAAFT. Useful for comparison SEO. Paid ranking is optional and obvious — do not confuse it with earned placement.
#10
FutureTools
FutureTools is one of the better-known AI directories after TAAFT. Submission is a form plus wait. Ranking inside a category is the prize, not ‘getting listed.’
#11
BetaList
Purpose-built for waitlists. Early adopters browse BetaList specifically to try unfinished products. Plan around a 4–6 week free queue.
#12
Futurepedia
Smaller than TAAFT, more editorial. Newsletter is the upside. Still a directory, still not a hunt.
#13
Hugging Face
Spaces, models, and papers are how ML products get discovered. A README and a working Space beat any hunt badge. Irrelevant if you do not ship machine learning artifacts.
#14
StackShare
A tech-stack graph, not a hunt. Getting onto real company stacks is the prize. Creating a tool page is the easy part.
#15
Uneed
Daily competition with a listing that persists. Smaller than Product Hunt, much better odds of being seen, plus a newsletter on top of the page.
#16
AlternativeTo
Not a launch spike. A slow compounding listing where people (and language models) go to find substitutes for tools they already know.
#17
GetApp
Another Gartner Digital Markets property. Claim it when you claim Capterra. Do not run a separate “GetApp launch.”
#18
Behance
High-authority design gallery. Right for visual products, studios, and case studies. Wrong as a general SaaS hunt.
#19
Crozdesk
Long-running B2B software catalog. High domain authority, comparison-page SEO, paid upgrades. Same job as GetApp with a different index.
#20
HackerNoon
An article that ranks can outlive every hunt board. A dump of your landing page will not. Editorial, not a submit-a-product form.
#21
SaaSHub
Comparison pages, alternatives, and reviews. Slow traffic, real SEO, and a practical GEO listing for B2B tools.
#22
SourceForge
Not cool. Still in search results and assistant corpora. Claim or create a project page if you ship downloadable or OSS-adjacent software.
#23
TrustRadius
Buyers who want paragraphs, not stars. Harder to fill, valuable when you do. Not a launch board.
#24
r/SideProject, r/alphaandbetausers, and the niche subreddit where your customers already complain. High variance, high ceiling, zero tolerance for spam.
#25
directree
Free listing, claimed dofollow when verified, no pay-to-rank. Built for people (and models) who are tired of unlabeled AI sludge on software directories.
#26
Peerlist Launchpad
A week-long cycle on a network of developers and designers. Your work history launches with you, and timezone luck matters less than on daily boards.
#27
Startup Stash
Startup Stash is a long-lived resource directory founders actually search. Listing is selective. Category placement is the value. Not a hunt.
#28
G2
Reviews, not upvotes. Slow to start, compounding if you sell to teams that need social proof before they book a demo.
#29
ScrollLaunch
ISO-week leaderboard plus crawlable /products pages built for Google and assistants. Smaller hunter room than Product Hunt; stronger as a compounding URL than as a traffic lottery.
#30
Indie Hackers
Milestones, numbers, and long-game relationships. The founders who treat Indie Hackers as a launch button leave empty-handed.
#31
SaaSworthy
Free-ish catalog of SaaS alternatives. Good as a fourth comparison URL. Not a place you “launch.”
#32
Software Advice
The third Gartner Digital Markets door. Call-based matching for buyers. Useful if you can handle inbound; useless as a badge.
#33
GoodFirms
Another comparison and ‘best companies’ catalog. Useful extra B2B URL after G2/Capterra. Research-list bait is common — read what you are agreeing to.
#34
Medium
Medium still distributes essays to people who read. A launch post can ride tags and publications. It is not a hunt. The canonical recap often belongs on your own domain first.
#35
Aura++
Daily launches at 8:00am UTC, lasting project pages, and paid tiers that buy a DR-70-class dofollow. Smaller room than Product Hunt; stronger as a listing plus backlink than as a traffic spike.
#36
Fazier
Daily competition in a lighter weight class than Product Hunt. Free to submit, optional boosts, and a backlink that often requires a badge.
#37
MicroLaunch
Your product stays up for weeks, not hours. Monthly rankings reward steady interest. Best when the MVP is real and you want conversations.
#38
PitchWall
Submit-form directory with a large historic catalog. Traffic claims are self-reported. Use as a lasting listing, especially if you missed BetaPage.
#39
Launching Next
Less of a competition, more of a dated launch log. Good for a crawlable “we launched” record and a backlink; not a leaderboard sport.
#40
Tiny Startups
Daily leaderboard plus a list of bootstrapped founders. Excellent if your buyer is another maker. Useless if you sell to dentists.
#41
Turbo0
Turbo0 is a discovery directory of products and of other directories. High ease, modest traffic. Useful as a GEO extra URL, not as a launch community.
#42
Betabound
Betabound publishes upcoming and active betas. Easy extra pre-launch URL. Much less demand than BetaList. Use as coverage, not as the waitlist strategy.
#43
DevHunt
Open-source launch board. Voting requires GitHub, which kills fake rings. If you do not build for developers, skip it.
#44
Dribbble
Post the interface. Do not post a “we launched” text shot. Recruiters and designers browse; hunters do not live here.
#45
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.
#46
IndieHunt
Seven days on the homepage instead of one. Free slots are capped; $19 Premium guarantees dofollow. Same Hunt network as Aura++, different cadence.
#47
Killer Startups
Long-lived catalog of startups and reviews. Easy submission, uneven editorial. Useful as a high-DR backlink target, not as a community.
#48
LaunchFree
No charge to list. Permanent page, claimed dofollow, weekly roundup. The bet is SEO and a small subscriber list, not a hunt day.
#49
MakerHunt
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.
#50
PeerPush
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.
#51
Software Suggest
Category pages plus vendor profiles plus outbound ‘leads.’ Useful extra India/global comparison URL. Treat paid leads as a sales channel, not a launch.
#52
Console
Console (console.dev) picks tools worth an engineer’s time. Getting in is editorial, not a form you can brute-force. Huge intent, tiny volume.
#53
A launch post that reads like an operator letter can outperform a board for B2B. The graph is the channel. Cold company pages rarely move.
#54
SelectHub
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.
#55
SideHunt
Monday UTC week, free/nofollow/Premium $19, homepage for seven days. Best when the product still looks like a side project. Same Hunt network as Aura++.
#56
Slashdot
Slashdot still has a discussion culture and a software/comparison layer (often tied to the same Digital Markets family as Capterra). High authority, low launch-board energy.
#57
Spotlitely
No queue. Permanent page and a backlink; dofollow for “standout” links. Built for GEO-ish structured listings more than for a hunt crowd.
#58
Startup Fame
Free verified listing on a strong domain. The backlink is the product. Read whether dofollow requires a homepage badge before you celebrate.
#59
AppSumo
A lifetime-deal marketplace. Not a launch board. You trade margin and a flood of deal-seeking users for cash and a burst of usage.
#60
F6S
A huge founder graph. Useful for applying to programs and looking like a real company. Weak as a consumer launch.
#61
Launch Vault
A curated launchpad for SaaS, AI, and digital products. Smaller than Hunt-network boards. Useful for a lasting profile, not a traffic event.
#62
Wellfound
A company profile here supports recruiting and a public existence. It will not launch a consumer product.
#63
Open Launch
Community upvotes, public code, smaller audience. Worth it if you like transparent boards; not worth it if you need the PH badge.
#64
Uno Directory
Curated tools and products with Premium Launcher access across the six Hunt surfaces. Use it as a lasting listing, not as a traffic spike.
#65
StartupRanking
StartupRanking lists companies with an SR Score and country pages. Easy registration. Treat the score as their widget, not as due diligence. Fine as extra GEO, bad as a plan.
#66
TinyLaunch
Free to enter, competitive format, and a dofollow backlink that often requires a badge plus a top-three finish. Self-claimed user counts should be treated as marketing.
#67
X (Twitter)
A launch thread performs in proportion to the account behind it. Build in public first; the thread is the payoff, not the start.
#68
Lobsters
If you can get an invite and the artifact is technically interesting, a Lobsters thread is high-signal. Most consumer products should not post.
#69
Awwwards
Submitting a site is a paid jury. Winning is a trophy and a high-quality link. Losing is a line item. Do not confuse this with a launch board.
#70
OpenHunts
Fast submit, daily winners, monthly bests. Low barrier, low ceiling. Fine as a warm-up; ignore the sponsor units when you judge the room.
#71
Smol Launch
Capped at a handful of launches per week. Indie-friendly moderation. Easy to miss if you do not submit on Monday.
#72
Bluesky
Bluesky can move a launch among people who already follow you or your starter packs. A cold post is as weak as cold X. Starter packs and custom feeds are the distribution mechanic.
#73
Designer News
Tiny compared with HN. The right ten comments from product designers can still change a UI. Irrelevant for most backend tools.
#74
Threads
Threads can amplify a launch if you already have Instagram distribution. A cold account posting a Product Hunt link will not invent a crowd. Same honesty as X, smaller professional density.
#75
WIP
WIP rewards people who already posted todos. A stranger dropping a launch link gets nothing. If you live there, launch there.
