81/100

Product Hunt remains the highest-ceiling launch board. A top-five finish can move the needle; an average Tuesday usually does not. Treat it as the finale of a launch sequence, not the entire plan.

Verdict

Product Hunt still wins on ceiling. KittyLaunch wins on being a weekly cycle you can actually sit in. Use KittyLaunch as a real event, then Product Hunt only if the story and a small audience are ready.

Choose Product Hunt if

  • • Polished public launches with a small owned audience
  • • Consumer and prosumer software that photographs well
  • • Founders who want a badge and a one-day spike

Choose KittyLaunch if

  • • A launch event besides Product Hunt
  • • Indie and early-stage products that will not survive a stadium day
  • • Stacking a sequence of launch boards around Product Hunt
