... everyone I run OpenBio, a free link-in-bio tool at https://openbio.io.vn The problem Creators, small shops, and small brands usually have links scattered everywhere: a shop here, a social profile there, a video, a form somewhere else. And when a brand asks for a media kit, that means putting together yet another page or document just to share stats and rates. The tools that solve this often charge for the basics, too. The solution OpenBio gathers all your ... ... built right into your page: brands get a separate kit page to view your stats, and there is a rate calculator to help work out booking prices. You can open a page in a few minutes, for free

... have been debating about pricing for my side project which is an application that creates short action lists from recorded meetings. Free plans seem more inviting but I am afraid people will use the app indefinitely without ever subscribing. A 14-day trial period sounds like coercion although it makes things clearer. An analysis of my own past behavior provides insights. I pay now for both Granola and Supabase and in both cases, it was because I had reached some ... ... reached the end of the trial period. In one case, the trial expired because I was too busy to use it within the two weeks. That makes the limit more important than the pricing model. Perhaps a free

... When we first launched, we decided to keep the product completely free to build traction and gather feedback. We didn't want a paywall to get in the way of early adoption. For 18 months, we ran entirely on our savings. The community loved us, and we built up a solid user base of about 2,000 active users. But our runway is getting dangerously thin. So, last month, we introduced a $19/month paid plan to sustain the business ... ... promised to keep a limited free

... Product Hunt! I'm an indie developer from Vietnam, and I wanted to share something I've been working on. It started with a pretty simple frustration: I'd occasionally discover that a game I wanted had been free on Epic or Steam, only to realize I'd missed the giveaway by a day or two. So I built GFGF (Get Free

... everyone! Like many of you, I used Splitwise for years to split trip and flatmate expenses. Lately, it has become almost unusable on the free tier between strict daily expense limits, annoying 10-second wait timers, and constant paywall popups just to do basic math. So I built Contri a clean, fast, and 100% free

... everyone I'm launching PublisherToolHub on Product Hunt this Tuesday, and wanted to share a bit of context before then and get some early thoughts from this community. The short version: it's a free suite of 8 puzzle and activity book generators Word Search, Crossword, Sudoku, Maze, Number Search, Bingo, Cryptogram, and Word Scramble built mainly for people who publish puzzle books on Amazon KDP or sell printables on Etsy. No sign-up, no watermark, no paywall. The backstory ... ... originally planned to launch this with paid tiers, but that plan didn't really pan out, so I just decided to keep everything free

... nice-to-have. Product Design is the number one skill, and Figma outranks Python. The modern solo builder is expected to make it look good, not just make it work. Second, TypeScript is nearly caught up with JavaScript (49 vs 52) and growing faster in project tags. If you're picking one to invest in deeply, the trend line points clearly at TS.

... hisashispace): @adana  Some of them do, some don't. On the crowdsourcing site it's light. Profile writing goes to Gemini Flash, which is cheap, and the job post summaries run on a local Qwen model, which is free. So that side costs almost nothing. Most of my Mac apps are built to run alongside an LLM rather than to contain one. One of them manages Gmail and Google Drive with agents across both.

... When launching a product, offering a free plan feels like the obvious choice. More users, more feedback, lower friction. But at the same time, charging from day one gives you a completely different signal. People who pay often use the product differently, give different feedback, and help you understand what they truly value. The challenge is that both approaches seem to make sense. A free

... Sanct, so it s helpful to hear how you think about readiness. We have 158 people using our closed beta, and we re now opening publicly. It s free to use, with optional premium features planned for later. I was curious about the payments point. For a product that starts free

... tarot better when it's human-led, not AI? Try a free card of the day and decide for yourself. Try it here: https://your-tarot.site I've been reading tarot for 15+ years. Most "tarot" sites today use AI-generated scripts that sound generic and hollow. That's not tarot. It's just text. So I built Mysticum a place where you get a real, human-led tarot reading. But I know not everyone trusts tarot (or even knows ... ... them). That's why I added a free

Instead I landed on a site that made me sign up, watch an ad, hit a "free" limit after one file, and then slapped a watermark on the result. I tried another one same story.
