Is Tuesday a good day to launch on Product Hunt?
It is the day most advice recommends, but it is also crowded. Tuesday launches finished at a median rank of #13 with 20% in the top 5. Tuesday had the most featured launches in our data (1,946) and Sunday the fewest (616).
What time should I launch on Product Hunt?
At 12:01 AM Pacific Time. The Product Hunt day runs from midnight to midnight Pacific, so launching at the start gives you the full 24 hours to collect upvotes. The tool converts that to your own time zone.
Does a weekend launch get less traffic?
Usually yes: fewer people visit Product Hunt at the weekend. But fewer products launch too, so each launch competes with fewer others for the top spots. Rank is relative to the other launches that day, which is why quieter days can rank better.
