Product Hunt alternatives: where else to launch your product
Product Hunt is one launch day. These sites are where your product keeps getting discovered afterwards. Every directory below is one we rate Good or Excellent, excluding Product Hunt itself β launch platforms with their own daily or weekly rankings, plus evergreen directories that drive search traffic for years.
Hacker News
ππΌnews.ycombinator.com
This is a must submit site. Lots of eyeballs but also lots and lots of new products. Spend time figuring out your title; it pays off
Startup Fame
ππΌstartupfa.me
This is great. The submission process is π₯ which will do all (and great) work based on your website url. Would have been nice with a few more screenshots for your startup.
Twelve Tools
ππΌtwelve.tools
Directory built on badge exchange: embed their badge and the listing is free with a dofollow link, otherwise you pay. Fast approval. Added on authority and reputation; we have not run a submission through it yet.
Indie Hackers
ππΌindiehackers.com
You need to submit to this. Only allow two products for free π€¦πΌββοΈ but it's a nice design and great community.
AlternativeTo
ππΌalternativeto.net
A good site you NEED to be at - ensure good screnshots and icons too
SaaSHub
ππΌsaashub.com
A great source you need to be on. Decent submit process.
Turbo0
ππΌturbo0.com
Same badge-for-link model as Twelve Tools, with real page views. Quick approval. Added on authority; not yet submitted by us.
Peerlist
ππΌpeerlist.io
A great extensiveΒ site with great LinkedIn import capabilities. The submit process is nice. Just in general a really well-designed site.
There's An AI For That
ππΌtheresanaiforthat.com
The largest AI tool directory, with a newsletter of 2.5M subscribers. Listing is paid only: $49 one-time review fee, $347 with a newsletter spot. AI products only. Added on authority; not yet submitted by us.
BetaList
ππΌbetalist.com
Only useful for new projects. Existing projects you want to include on this list is likely not accepted. But as a new product release it's great.
Uneed
ππΌuneed.best
A great PH alternative. Does a great job! The submission process is π. Queue time is currently three months which is a long time but acceptable.
LaunchIgniter
ππΌlaunchigniter.com
Weekly launch board: products sit on the homepage for seven days and the top three get a badge. Free tier works, premium for placement. Can prefill from your site or Product Hunt. Added on authority; not yet submitted by us.
PeerPush
ππΌpeerpush.com
Cross-promotion launch network. Free listing joins a queue; $39 publishes instantly with a permanent link, more for promotion. No badge required. Added on authority; not yet submitted by us.
Smol Launch
ππΌsmollaunch.com
Weekly launches every Monday. Free submissions are capped at 50 a week and need their badge; premium skips both. Permanent listing with a link. Added on authority; not yet submitted by us.
StartupBase
ππΌstartupbase.io
Good site with good submission process. The free queue is a couple of months.
Tiny Startups
ππΌtinystartups.com
Decent website with fine submission process. It's doing more upsale than GoDaddy but it is possible to do a free listing too, which is good. Queue time is less than a month. Unfortunately doesn't have a profile so if you submit multiple products or want to change details, it's a bit difficult to keep track.
Huzzler
ππΌhuzzler.so
A great site! Very easy submit process and nice ability to choose free or paid submission. Good job!
MicroLaunch
ππΌmicrolaunch.net
I like this one. It has a queue for 2-3 months for free submissions. The process is pretty straight-forward though some information needs to be repeated when you're submitting multiple products.
TinyLaunch
ππΌtinylaun.ch
Like it. Simple and great submission process though they have a 0.2 MB limit on the logo. Pretty odd. One-page though no screenshots can be uploaded. That would have been nice. The upsale process is nicely handled. Free submissions are less than a week in the future.
Idea Kiln
ππΌideakiln.com
Easy signup and good mix of fields for your listing. You're able to select slots for launch and only with an acceptable bit of nudging towards premium.
SoloPush
ππΌsolopush.com
Decent design a easy submit process. Queue is a couple of months.
Startup Listing
ππΌstartuplist.ing
A new contender. A great design with a fine submission process. Would love ability to drag/drop icon/photos, though. Not pushing for buying premium listings, which is good. Queue time is undefined but probably fast because the site is very new.
How to use this list
The smartest use of these sites is to treat them as a sequence, not a one-off: launch on Product Hunt, then work down this list over the following weeks with the same launch package so every listing is consistent.
Each directory page has our one-paragraph review, the pricing model, and a direct link to the submission form. Open the ones you want, and if you have a launch package, the Chrome extension fills the form for you: how autofill works.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- What is the best alternative to Product Hunt?
- For launch-day style rankings: Uneed, Peerlist Launchpad, TinyLaunch and MicroLaunch. For developer tools: Hacker News (Show HN) and Dev Hunt. For evergreen search traffic: AlternativeTo and SaaSHub.
- Can I launch on several of these at once?
- Yes, and you should. Nothing stops you from listing the same product on every one. Most makers do not because of the repeated form filling β which is what a launch package is for.
- Are Product Hunt alternatives free?
- Most have a free tier with a queue and a paid option to launch sooner. See our free directories list for the ones that cost nothing.
