I kept running into the same problem:
Every time I wanted to find a place to launch a product, I had to open 20+ tabs and figure out:
Is this platform still active?
Who is the audience?
Is it daily or weekly?
Is it actually useful for my type of product?
Does it cost anything?
Is there any SEO value?
How difficult is submission?
Should I launch here before or after another platform?
So I decided to turn that research into a product.
Product Hunt Alternatives is an independent catalog of launch platforms beyond Product Hunt:
https://producthunt-alternatives.com/
It currently has 59 alternatives, with a scoring system covering:
Traffic · Audience · SEO · Ease · Community · Cost
There are also:
→ Best-for rankings
→ Launch sequences
→ Platform comparisons
→ Launch Advisor
→ Launch guides and calendars
→ Field notes
→ Public API
→ Machine-readable catalog/API documentation
I'm deliberately keeping it independent: no paid placements and no affiliate layer.
The goal isn't to say:
“Here is the #1 website everyone should use.”
It's to help answer:
“Given what I'm building and what I want from this launch, where should I go?”
If you're an indie hacker, I'd love to know:
What's your current launch/distribution stack?
