TestMyBuild and Product Hunt: feedback or a launch

The short answer

Product Hunt and TestMyBuild do different jobs. Product Hunt is a place to launch a product to a community and collect comments. TestMyBuild is a place where testers use your app and post written feedback on it.

We do not replace a launch, and this page does not claim that. If you want feedback before you launch, or a quieter place to see where a stranger gets stuck, TestMyBuild is built for that. If you want a public launch, use Product Hunt. You can use both.

What this page says about other products was read on their own websites on 13 November 2026. Prices and rules change, so check their sites before you decide. TestMyBuild is not connected with any of them, and their names belong to their owners.

What Product Hunt does

Product Hunt's help pages describe it as a community where makers share what they have built. They say the community upvotes, comments and talks with the people who made the products.

• Its help pages say launching costs nothing.
• Its help pages say you post from a personal account, and that company accounts cannot post products.

What you get is a public page, comments from people who browse new products and a chance at attention. The pages we read describe a launch. They do not describe a test of your app.

What TestMyBuild does

• Before your app is listed, someone on our team uses it and writes the first piece of feedback.
• Testers choose your app, sign up, use it and post a screenshot with written feedback. You can answer each post in public.
• A listing costs 10 credits. You earn credits by testing other apps, or buy them from US$9.99, so it can cost you nothing.
• The listing takes the link to your app in a store, to your web app or to its download page. It is not a launch day, and it stays up unless we remove it.

Our guarantee: every app you submit is tested by the team and gets feedback from at least one real person.

What you get is a few people who each write down what happened. It is not a crowd, and it is not a launch.

Which one, and in what order

• You do not yet know if a stranger can use your app: TestMyBuild first.
• The app works and you want a public launch: Product Hunt.
• You want both: get the feedback, fix what it shows, then launch.
