Hey there! As a SaaS Product Demo animation explainer video expert, I've used both AppSumo and Product Hunt to launch my products. Both platforms have their own advantages and disadvantages, so it really depends on your specific goals.

@tanjirrahman elaborate on pros and cons please?

@psd Hi Peyt, Thanks for your interest, Here i am writing my learnings from my experience. Also followed you at LinkedIn 1. AppSumo: AppSumo is a great platform for getting early adopters and generating buzz for your product. They have a large and engaged audience of SaaS buyers, and they offer a variety of marketing channels to help you promote your product. However, AppSumo also takes a 50% cut of your sales, so it's not the best option if you're looking to maximize your profits. 2. Product Hunt: Product Hunt is a great platform for getting your product in front of a large audience of potential users. They have a daily featured section that can generate a lot of traffic to your product, and they also have a community of early adopters who are always looking for new products to try. However, Product Hunt is not as focused on SaaS products as AppSumo, so you may not get the same level of exposure. Ultimately, the best platform for you will depend on your specific goals and budget. If you're looking to get early adopters and generate buzz, AppSumo is a great option. If you're looking to maximize your profits, Product Hunt may be a better choice.

@tanjirrahman Hey hey! Rock on for being a pro at SaaS demo animations. You're spot on – AppSumo and Product Hunt are like two flavors of startup-launch ice cream. Go with what jives best with your goals.

@raycorp I think so too, but at what interval (at the same time or separately of 1 week/ month) ?

Both have their charm, but if I had to pick, I'd give Product Hunt a high-five for startup launching vibes! 👋
