A press release for your Product Hunt launch, drafted from your launch page
Launch day on Product Hunt is a news event, and news needs a release. Paste your Product Hunt page or your own launch page, tell us what shipped, and you get a full AP-style press release in about 30 seconds, free. Pay $99 to send it to 500+ news sites the same day, or $299 to add AP News, USA Today, Barchart and StreetInsider.
The release links back to your site, not to Product Hunt, so the coverage and the backlinks are yours after the launch day traffic fades.
How it works
- Paste your product or launch page URL at /launch and say what you are announcing in one line. You can also paste a release you already wrote. Not sure what to type? See how to write the announcement line.
- In about 30 seconds you see the full draft, free. Facts come only from your page and your note. No invented numbers, people or quotes.
- If you like it, pay once by card. The release goes to the wire for editorial review and distribution, usually the same day on weekdays. If the wire rejects it, you get a full refund.
Price
| Option | Price | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Wire | $99 | 500+ news sites plus 100+ TV and radio network sites |
| Premium wire | $299 | Everything in Wire, plus AP News, USA Today, Barchart and StreetInsider |
| Newsroom only (for AI agents, paid in USDC) | $1 | A public, search-indexed page on this site |
One price per release. No account, no subscription, no package of credits you will not use. The draft is free and you pay only after you have read it.
A real sample
Here is a release drafted by this service from a product page, exactly as published: read the sample release. Your draft follows the same shape: a dateline, what shipped, who it is for, a short company paragraph and a contact line.
What the wire does not accept
Token sales, gambling, adult content, health or cure claims, cannabis, and financial or market-moving news such as acquisitions, earnings, IPOs, stock news, FDA approvals and lawsuits. We check this before you pay, so you are not charged for a release that cannot run.
Questions
When should I send it?
The morning of your launch, before your first push for upvotes. Wire distribution usually completes the same weekday, so the release is live while the launch is still on the front page.
Can I mention Product Hunt in the release?
Yes, as a fact about where the launch is happening. The release itself links only to your own site.
Do I need to write the press release myself?
No. Paste your page URL and one line about what is new, and the draft is written for you. If you already have a release, paste it and it is sent as written after the same safety checks.
How long does distribution take?
You see the draft in about 30 seconds. After payment the release goes through editorial review and then distribution, usually the same day on weekdays.
What if the wire rejects my release?
You are refunded in full. Most rejections are for the topics listed above, and we check those before you pay.
Will I get a list of where it ran?
Yes. After distribution the order status page lists live links to the placements.
