Product Hunt

About Product Hunt

The main platform for launching new products. It's built around launch events and not the idea of product comparisons, so the reason to be there is to generate buzz from the launch. Best to prepare the event, make sure you have informed maximum people about it so that they could come and vote for your product. If you are treating Product Hunt as yet another place to submit your startup, there's little chance to get noticed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Blastra submit my product to Product Hunt?

No. Product Hunt is a launch platform rather than a directory. Blastra focuses on permanent directory listings that drive ongoing buyer discovery and AI search visibility, not launch-day buzz that fades after the first week. If you want launch-day momentum on Product Hunt, you'll need to coordinate that submission yourself.

Is Product Hunt free?

Yes. Product Hunt is free to list on, with no paid tier or upgrade options on top. The basic profile, badge display, review responses, and analytics — whatever Product Hunt offers — are all included in the free listing. No catch and no upsell waiting on the other side of the form.

Do I need reviews to get listed on Product Hunt?

No, reviews are not a prerequisite. Product Hunt accepts customer reviews and they accumulate over time, but the listing itself goes live without them. Your review strategy on Product Hunt should depend on what your direct competitors in your category are doing — if they're collecting reviews actively, you should too.

Does Product Hunt accept beta or waitlist products?

No — Product Hunt only accepts products that are publicly available. Beta and waitlist-stage products are rejected because the reviewers want to see something they can actually try before approving the listing. Wait until you've moved out of private beta and the product is purchasable before submitting.

Can I list my SaaS product on Product Hunt?

Yes — Product Hunt accepts product listings, including SaaS, software, AI tools, and hardware. Service businesses, agencies, and consultancies won't be approved or won't fit the audience even if they get through. If you sell services, look at directories with explicit Services focus instead, like Clutch or GoodFirms.

What types of products does Product Hunt accept?

Product Hunt accepts all three buyer profiles: B2B (sold to other businesses), B2E (sold to enterprises), and B2C (sold to consumers). That's a broad audience, which is unusual — most directories specialize in one or two. The trade-off is that listings on Product Hunt need to be specific enough to resonate with whichever buyer is reading; broad positioning won't work as well here.
