LaunchPact

LaunchPact is a pact network that helps Product Hunt founders form mutual launch pacts with nearby launch dates, then verify each other’s upvotes with screenshot proof.

Verified mutual support for Product Hunt launch day

Launching on Product Hunt alone is portrayed as difficult: early upvotes are hard to get, asking feels uncomfortable, and communities like Discord/Reddit can be chaotic or unreliable. LaunchPact’s approach is to coordinate a “crew” of founders launching around your date so you back products you’d genuinely upvote—and if that interest is mutual, you form a pact.

On launch day, pact partners are expected to show up for each other. LaunchPact verifies upvotes using either a one-click Product Hunt check (when your Product Hunt account is connected) or screenshot proof that is then verified with AI. Partners who do not verify lose trust score, and optional verified comment proof is available as an extra layer of accountability.

What you can do inside LaunchPact

After you start listing/activating a launch, the platform provides more than just the pact mechanism:

• Browse upcoming Product Hunt launches in a feed (with launches launching near your time window)
• Back products you genuinely would upvote
• Form mutual pacts when both founders back each other
• Receive launch-day reminders for your pact partners
• Generate Product Hunt launch assets from your screenshots and URL, including a generated tagline, maker first comment, and gallery images
• Use a Launch Day Report created automatically after launch, with basic statistics and comment insights

Launch assets and preparation tools

LaunchPact also includes guides and free launch tools intended to help you plan, prepare, and run your Product Hunt moment. The free toolkit includes items such as an upvote calculator, readiness score, PH launch day picker, comment generator, PH analyzer, launch roadmap, and an assets checklist.

Pricing and plan basics

LaunchPact offers a free “Launch Package” where you can list your product and get the first 10 pacts per launch included. Activation is a separate step that unlocks unlimited pacts, an indexed public launch page with a dofollow backlink, and the Launch Day Report plus 8 AI Launch Analyst questions. Activation does not buy upvotes.

Activation timing guidance

Scheduling guidance included for makers: Tuesday through Thursday see the most traffic but are also the most competitive, while Sunday and Monday are described as softer. The platform recommends scheduling at least four weeks out so you have time to list your launch, form pacts, and prepare assets.
