Should you offer free access when launching a paid product on Product Hunt?

I'm seeing more products launch on Product Hunt that require payment to actually use any features. No free trial, no freemium tier, just a download that leads straight to a paywall.

Part of me thinks this makes sense. If your product has real value, why give it away? People on Product Hunt understand they're looking at premium tools. Plus offering free access can attract users who will never pay anyway.

But I also see the argument for temporary free access during launch. Product Hunt users want to actually try what they're upvoting. How can they give meaningful feedback or become advocates if they hit a paywall immediately?

What's the most valuable lesson you learned from a failed AI agent project?

Hello, Product Hunt community!

We often celebrate the wins and the "hockey stick growth" moments here, which is incredibly inspiring. However, I believe there's a treasure trove of knowledge in the projects that didn't work out, especially in the rapidly evolving world of AI agents.

Have you ever pivoted your business / idea? šŸ’”

Tons of great products that we know and use everyday are the result of pivots. You know, sometimes the original idea just isn't working and you have to find a new niche and quick, other times you stumble on a use case that changes the whole game.

Have you ever pivoted? What's the story behind it? How successful was the pivot? I'd love to hear your stories, and potentially feature them in our newsletters!
