Free toolkit: category leaderboards, launch volume trends, "is PH worth it?" for your niche.
PH Launchpad is a free analytics toolkit for Product Hunt: category leaderboards, launch volume trends, and a "is PH worth it for my niche?" scoring tool.
Use it in two moments:
1. Six weeks out — check the average upvote count for the top 5 in your category over the last 3 months. That's your realistic target range.
2. One week out — check the launch volume forecast for your target date. If a category giant is scheduled the same day, seriously consider moving your launch.
The launch-volume trends alone are worth the visit: Tuesdays and Wednesdays consistently see 30–50% more launches than Mondays or Fridays, which means both more traffic and more competition. Pick the day with the best ratio for your category.Read more →
