Product HuntBiggest audience
Makers post products; a review team decides what reaches the homepage
Makers post a product and the community upvotes it over a 24-hour cycle in Pacific time, with launches going live at midnight PT. A review team decides whether you reach the curated homepage.
A reviewed directory of nearly 2,000 hand-picked startups, browsable across 20 categories plus country and city pages. Nothing on the site votes or scores, so listings don't compete for position.
Every submission is paid and editorially reviewed, with an automatic full refund if you're turned down. Accepted startups appear on a dated timeline, and the outbound link is do-follow.
A community for founders of profitable businesses and side projects, where the Build Board ranks build-in-public posts by upvote and resets daily. Browsing the full products database needs an account.
A directory of micro-startups and indie SaaS run by one person. Listing pages carry an FAQ, founder attribution, category and listed and updated dates; the default sort puts paid listings above free ones.
