You get one launch day. Spend an hour on it first.
714 products launch on Product Hunt every day. Around 600 of them finish in single digits — not because they are bad, but because of decisions made in the week before, most of which nobody told the founder about. We read your launch before it runs and tell you what we would change, in writing, within 48 hours.

The day you are launching into
Averages over 89 measured days. Rank 100 sitting at five upvotes is the whole story: most launches never get going at all. See the full measurements.
What you get
One to two pages of plain writing, by email. No dashboard, no login, no tool to learn — what you are buying is the judgement, not software.
- ✓ A go or a no on your date, with a better one if yours sits badly.
- ✓ An honest target number — what your launch will realistically do with the reach you actually have, not what is theoretically possible.
- ✓ Five to eight specific changes, ordered by how much they matter, each one doable in an afternoon.
- ✓ Your first maker comment, drafted for you. It sits under every launch, it is the text almost everyone treats as a formality, and you can paste ours or ignore it.
What we look at
In this order, because each one depends on the last. Without a realistic target there is no way to judge a tagline, and without a date there is no field to judge it against.
-
01
Your reach
How many people you can personally reach on launch day. The biggest factor by far, and the only one nobody can supply for you afterwards. You tell us; we tell you what it is worth in upvotes.
-
02
Your date
How big the field usually is on that weekday and what it took to be featured. A real effect, and a small one — we put a number on it instead of claiming it.
-
03
Your tagline
Sixty characters decide whether anyone stops. Read against the taglines that were featured that same week: does it say what the product does, or what it wants to be?
-
04
Your thumbnail
The only image in the feed. Legible at 40 pixels? A logo on white disappears next to an animated GIF — the most common avoidable loss there is.
-
05
Your first comment
Sits under every launch and gets treated as a formality by almost everyone. You get a draft, not a note saying it could be better.
-
06
Your gallery
Order of the images, first frame of the video, and whether the thing your product actually does is visible in the first two.
-
07
Your topics
Which categories you are entering and how crowded they are that day. The weakest of the seven — it is here because it is cheap, not because it decides much.
What a review cannot do
It cannot get you upvotes. Craft and timing together are a minority of what decides a launch. Most of it is the audience you bring on the day and whether people find the product interesting — and no review changes either.
Which means some reviews end with "with this reach you will not be featured — wait until you have a list." If that is the honest answer, that is the answer you get. It is the reason the review is worth paying for, and the reason we sell a verdict rather than a result.
no subscription

You pay after we accept. We take 2 reviews a week, and a review that arrives after your launch is worth nothing — so if we cannot make your date, you hear that instead of an invoice.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about LaunchAmp passes, assets, and widgets.
How is this different from the free launch analysis?
The free analysis looks at a launch that already happened and tells you how it did against its day. This looks at one that has not happened yet and tells you what to change while changing it is still possible. Same data behind both; opposite ends of the launch.
Can you guarantee I get featured?
No, and anyone who does is selling you something else. Being featured took 138 upvotes on an average day over the last three months, and most of that comes from the audience you bring rather than from anything a review can change. What a review does is remove the avoidable mistakes and tell you honestly what to expect.
What if my launch is in two days?
Ask anyway. If it can be done in time you get the review; if it cannot, you get told that rather than an invoice. A review that lands after the launch is worth nothing, which is why nothing is charged until it is accepted.
What happens to what I send you?
It is stored so the request cannot be lost, and used only to write your review. It is not added to any mailing list and not passed on. You can have it deleted at any time by writing to hello@launchamp.eu.
Are there any monthly recurring subscription fees?
No. LaunchAmp is a strict one-time payment of 14 € per product launch. There are zero monthly recurring fees. You get lifetime graphic downloads and a Proof Wall that live-syncs for 90 days, then keeps its final numbers embedded permanently.
What if I launch a second product in the future?
Each pass covers one Product Hunt launch. If you launch a new product later, buy a separate pass for it at whatever the price is then — currently 14 €.
Does the widget ever expire?
It never disappears from your page. Your 14 € Launch Pass includes 90 days of live-synced Product Hunt upvotes on your embeddable widget. After that it keeps showing your final synced numbers permanently, it just stops updating.
How fast are the social cards generated?
Within seconds of pasting your Product Hunt URL. The server renders high-resolution PNG social cards sized for X, LinkedIn and Instagram, ready to post as they are.
