Question 1

What are the best alternatives to Product Hunt?

Accepted Answer

Depends on the vibe you want: Show HN, Indie Hackers, BetaList, niche directories. Shipit is our take: no hunters, feed ranked by clicks to your site, listing stays after launch day, and you can paste a PH URL to import. Longer comparison: https://www.shipit.buzz/product-hunt-alternative.

Question 2

What is the best free site to launch a new SaaS?

Accepted Answer

Listing on Shipit is free: pick a day, go live at 8 AM Pacific, keep your product page. Optional promoted spots are paid if you want extra reach, not the cost of showing up.

Question 3

How is Shipit different from Product Hunt?

Accepted Answer

Product Hunt is built around launch-day momentum and upvotes. We’re smaller: the feed moves on outbound clicks to your product, not a vote tally. No hunters. Your page stays discoverable after the day. Paste a PH link on submit and we pull your details.

Question 4

What is Shipit?

Accepted Answer

A launch directory for makers: you submit your own product, get homepage time on launch day, and stay listed after. The feed ranks by clicks to your real URL. Listing is free; optional promos are extra.

Question 5

Is it free?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Submitting and living in organic results costs nothing. Paid options are for optional promotion (e.g. external ads), not for basic listing.

Question 6

What are hunters? Why don't you have them?

Accepted Answer

On some sites, “hunters” post products for makers, sometimes for a fee or favors. We don’t do that. Only you post your own product, so the launch is yours.

Question 7

When do products go live?

Accepted Answer

Every day at 8 AM Pacific. You choose the date at submit; that’s when you hit the homepage feed.

Question 8

What happens after launch day?

Accepted Answer

Your product stays on Shipit in categories, search, and your profile. Launch day is the spike; the listing is the long tail.

Question 9

Can I edit my product after submitting?

Accepted Answer

Yes. From your dashboard: name, description, images, links, whenever you need.

Question 10

What if my category doesn't exist?

Accepted Answer

Email hello@shipit.buzz with the category name. We add them as demand shows up.

Question 11

Someone posted my product without permission.

Accepted Answer

Email hello@shipit.buzz with proof you own it (domain, company email, etc.). We’ll hand you the listing or take it down.

Question 12

How do I delete my account?

Accepted Answer

Settings → Delete account → type DELETE to confirm. Your profile and personal data are removed for good.
