What's in Your Package
Why Upvotes & Comments?
Product Hunt's algorithm doesn't just count upvotes. Here's why a balanced package gives you the best shot at a top ranking.
Upvotes
The primary ranking signal. More upvotes push your product higher in the daily leaderboard. We deliver them gradually throughout the day for natural growth.
Comments
Comments signal genuine interest and boost engagement quality. Products with active discussions rank higher than those with upvotes alone.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this calculator?
Our estimates are based on analyzing hundreds of Product Hunt launches. Actual results vary based on competition on your launch day, product quality, and organic engagement. The calculator gives you a strong baseline to plan around.
What does the "Confidence" level mean?
Confidence reflects how well your budget covers the typical engagement needed for your target ranking. "Very High" means your budget fully covers the recommended package. "Low" means you may need to supplement with organic outreach.
Can I achieve a top ranking with just paid upvotes?
Paid engagement is most effective when combined with organic outreach — sharing with your community, social media posts, and email campaigns. Our calculator accounts for the paid portion of a successful launch strategy.
Why are comments included?
Product Hunt's algorithm weighs engagement quality, not just upvote count. Comments signal genuine interest and can significantly boost your ranking compared to upvotes alone.
When should I launch on Product Hunt?
Tuesday through Thursday typically have the best results. Avoid weekends and holidays. Launch at 12:01 AM PST when the new day starts on Product Hunt to maximize your visibility window.
Do you guarantee a specific ranking?
We can't guarantee exact rankings since they depend on daily competition. However, we do offer a delivery guarantee — if we don't deliver the engagement numbers in your package, you're refunded for the undelivered portion.
