Product Hunt

Free route launch-board

Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.

Requirements

Personal account required — company accounts are prohibited
A real, tryable product; makers are encouraged to hunt their own products (no advantage to a third-party hunter)
Relaunches allowed only for significant new product iterations
Strict anti-vote-solicitation rule: you may share the launch link but cannot ask people to upvote — ask for visits/comments instead

Product URL to start the submit flow
Launch assets per the official content checklist: name, tagline, description, logo, gallery images/video, first comment
A maker comment ready for launch day and a plan to answer comments all day
Chosen launch day — guide suggests 12:01am Pacific Time for maximum voting window, 'best day is the day you're most prepared'

Log in, click Submit (top right) → 'New Product'
Enter the product URL first, then complete the product flow (tagline, description, media, topics)
Schedule or launch; products compete on the daily homepage leaderboard for Product of the Day
Spend launch day responding to comments; promote via the launch link without soliciting upvotes

Asking directly for upvotes violates the rules — frame outreach as 'check it out / leave feedback'
If someone else already hunted your product, contact PH support ASAP rather than duplicating
Spam-flagged accounts lose the ability to launch — review the community guidelines first
Launch Guide chapters: /launch/how-product-hunt-works plus content checklist and marketing strategy pages
High-effort launch: the platform rewards day-long engagement, not drive-by submissions

The product page is public on producthunt.com and appears on the daily leaderboard for its launch date with upvotes/comments enabled

Featured-vs-newest placement mechanics (editorial featuring is not documented on the launch page)
Exact minimum account age/activity thresholds for launching
