Last week, OpenAI announced a full-year free subscription for Indian users starting November 4. On top of that, they’ve rolled out a “Learning Accelerator” program offering 5 lakh ChatGPT licenses to students and educators, and begun hiring engineers in Bengaluru. So… why the sudden focus? Here’s my take: India is now OpenAI’s 2nd-largest user base, and probably the fastest-growing. By locking...

We got 5 Leads from Product Hunt last week! It didn’t happen overnight. We stayed active on forum threads, joined conversations, and showed up for the community. Here’s what we did: • Stayed consistent on Product Hunt discussions and threads. • Divided the pool between those who already launched and those planning to launch. • For those who had launched, we asked if they needed the solution...

Hi everyone! 👋 Just curious, who here is launching on Product Hunt this November? Would love to follow your drops, support, and see what everyone’s been building. Please share your product name, launch date, and a short one-liner below. I’ll keep a list so others can discover and follow the upcoming launches this month 🚀

Everyone says execution matters most. But I think it’s execution in the right way The kind that runs experiments, not marathons. It’s easy to “move fast.” It’s harder to design motion that actually teaches you something. The best founders I’ve met don’t just build features but they build experiments: test one variable at a time measure feedback honestly kill bad ideas fast It’s not about doing...

Over time, I’ve realized how much effort we put into our websites on landing pages, pricing, testimonials, product tours and yet, most visitors only ever deeply interact with one or two sections depending on your ICP. For developer-first products, that’s usually docs. For consumer apps, maybe it’s onboarding or pricing. For enterprise tools, perhaps case studies or ROI calculators. The rest is...

Yesterday, I had a chat with a founder who’s launching on Product Hunt next week. He said: “We’ve got a community of 500+ people. Getting Product of the Day should be easy.” So I asked one question: “How many of them have an active Product Hunt accounts that are at least 4–6 weeks old?” His answer: None. You can’t expect to win Product Hunt with an audience that PH doesn’t recognize yet. The...

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.” And a few months later, the reality hits when billing has quietly turned into an entire product of its own. Suddenly, you’re debugging: Auto top-ups that fail for specific edge cases...

For years, SaaS pricing revolved around seats. “If you're adding more teammates then pay more.” This was simple, predictable and scalable. But as products get more API-driven and AI-powered, usage is becoming the new unit of value. Instead of “per seat,” it’s now “per credit,” “per call,” or “per GB.” Curious to hear from other builders: Are you still using seat-based pricing, or have you...

When we launched Flexprice, I thought Product Hunt success was about chasing upvotes. I was wrong. It’s really about momentum, community, and showing up prepared. Here are a few lessons we learned the hard way but I hope they save someone a few gray hairs before their launch day: 1️⃣ Don’t rush it. Launch when people can use something, even a rough beta. A landing page alone won’t create...

Hi everyone, I am Koshima, co founder of Flexprice.io, an open-source metering and billing platform for AI & Agentic companies. In simple words, you can call us Chargebee for AI and Agentic companies. You can launch usage based pricing, credits, and enterprise contracts, so your engineers can focus on building product, not billing.

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....

I've recently come across Clay, and it looks like a super interesting tool for managing relationships and staying on top of networking. I'm curious if anyone here has tried it out. How has it fit into your workflow? Does it really help with staying on top of connections? Any pros and cons you'd call out? Would love to hear your experiences—especially if you’ve found unique ways to get the most...
