@PabloSantanaTLaunching a product shouldn't cost $100+ in upvote services or depend on who has the biggest bot network. We watched Product Hunt become a pay-to-win game. Fake upvotes, launch agencies charging thousands, and genuine builders getting buried.
RankInPublic is the alternative. We pair your product against real competitors in your category using AI-powered matchmaking, then let real users vote in bracket-style tournaments. Every matchup is relevant, every vote is from a human. Winners earn backlinks, visibility, and credibility, all based on merit, not marketing budgets.
We're builders ourselves, and we made the platform we wished existed when we launched our first products. Along the way we built free tools to help founders grow: a website authority checker, an SEO audit tool, a competitor finder, and a directory submission service that has boosted DR for hundreds of startups.
