What does it really feel like to launch on Product Hunt, and what does it teach you afterward?

Back in April, we launched Flexprice on Product Hunt.
What followed was 24 hours of chaos, caffeine, and endless browser refreshes that felt like a sport.

By the end of the day, we became Product of the Day.
It was surreal. But the real story started after that.

We spent the next few weeks reading every comment, DM, and bit of feedback.
Some validated what we were building.
Some completely changed how we explained it.

That s when it clicked.
Product Hunt isn t just about visibility.

How much time does your team spend building pricing and billing in-house?

Almost every team building usage-based or credit-based pricing I ve talked to says something like:

We just have to aggregate events, multiply with a price, and send it to Stripe.

Shouldn t take more than a week.

Product Hunt is no longer just a launch platform...

When we launched our product here in April 2025, the playbook was quite different:

  • Create a Coming Soon page

  • Build your network through the Notify Me page

  • Let Product Hunt notify everyone on launch day

  • Launch, celebrate, and (hopefully) trend

We followed that playbook to the dot and ended up winning #1 Product of the Day.

The network effect from that launch still brings traffic even today.
