PressDrop: Your launch deserves more than a tweet

Hi guys, I'm Jack from Sweden! 👋 I’ve been thinking about PR and AEO a lot lately. At my day job at a small startup, we’ve used press releases a few times and I’ve seen them actually get picked up by news sites and the articles cited by chatbots. So I started wondering: why are indie hackers not doing this? If you’re a solo founder who just spent 3 months building a SaaS (or 5 hours lol), paying $1k–$5k for PR doesn’t really make sense. Hence PressDrop. You give it your launch/news → get a press release → it distributes it to 300+ news feeds. I’m also really interested in the SEO/AEO side of this. More places mentioning your company = more chances to get discovered in Google and referenced by AI search/answer engines and from my experience AEO (chatbots) reaally love news articles. I want to make this stupidly simple and accessible. Not $2,000. Not a PR retainer of $10,000. $49. First 5 founders get it for $49, next 5 for $79, regular price is $199. It’s super early and I’m basically trying to find out if this is actually something founders would like - the first packages are sold on negative margin. 😅 So if you’re an indie hacker: have you ever paid for PR? did it work? and would you pay $49 to give your launch a shot at getting picked up? Would love to hear what you guys think 🫶
