Launching in Augmented Reality on Product Hunt

The benchmark for Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality is a moderately busy Product Hunt category, with around 28 launches a month and interest that is currently rising. The average launch here earns about 68 upvotes, and the median is 42 — the gap between the two tells you a few big launches pull the average up, so the median is the more honest target for a first launch.

A standout in Augmented Reality was ARKit Studio with about 1116 upvotes. Treat that as the ceiling, not the expectation.

How to stand out in Augmented Reality

In a moderately busy category, a top-5 finish comes from distribution you build before launch day, not from the product alone. Line up your reachable audience, get the gallery and first comment right, and pick a day with less competition in your category.

• Pick your date with the launch day picker to avoid the busiest days.
• Pressure-test whether Product Hunt is worth it for Augmented Reality with the is-it-worth-it tool.
• Write a scroll-stopping tagline with the tagline generator and work the launch checklist.
