EarlyHunt is a weekly product launch platform where early adopters discover and upvote new AI tools and startups, and makers launch their products to gain visibility and earn dofollow backlinks.
What is EarlyHunt?
EarlyHunt is a web-based platform that runs weekly hunts for AI products and digital tools. Makers submit their product with a name, tagline, logo, and short description; the platform lists it live during the competition week. Users browse the ranked board, upvote products they like, and the top three voted items each week win badges and dofollow backlinks. The site is trusted by over 1,604 builders and is operated by the EarlyHunt team.
Key Features
- Weekly rank-based hunts — New products are listed each week with a live countdown timer (shown on the homepage) indicating time remaining. Products appear in rank order based on user upvotes.
- Upvote system — Visitors can click the upvote button (displayed as a number next to each product) to boost a product’s position. The top three at the end of the week earn badges and dofollow backlinks.
- Premium listing option — Some products are tagged “Premium” (visible in the product cards). This upgrade likely provides enhanced placement or additional promotion (no dollar amounts are stated on the page).
- Partner launch platforms network — The site features a visual network of partner platforms, allowing makers to explore other launch directories and reach broader audiences. A “View All Partner Platforms” link leads to the full list.
- Past week and month archives — Separate sections list recent hunts (“Past Week Hunts” and “Past Month Hunts”) with previous winners and their vote counts, enabling users to track ongoing launches.
- Product pages with maker attribution — Each listing includes the maker’s name (e.g., “by ROBERT EVA”, “by Omprakash Sah Kanu”), a product logo, and a clickable link to the project’s dedicated page on earlyhunt.com.
Who is it for?
- AI startup founders — Launch new AI tools to a community of early adopters and compete for top ranks that yield dofollow backlinks.
- Indie makers — Submit side projects or solo-built products (e.g., King Motion Control, ScreenDub) to gain initial traction and validation from thousands of weekly visitors.
- Early adopters and tech enthusiasts — Browse weekly listings to discover and upvote innovative products before they go mainstream, and follow makers for future launches.
What can you do with EarlyHunt?
- Discover new AI products — Each week browse 15–22 ranked products (e.g., AI motion control, screen recorder with script generation, startup readiness scoring) and upvote the ones you find most interesting.
- Launch your product and earn backlinks — Submit your project (e.g., a SaaS tool, AI app, or mobile app) to the weekly hunt. If your product finishes in the top three, it receives a badge and a dofollow backlink (details on the FAQ page).
- Explore partner launch platforms — Use the Partner Launch Platforms network to find additional directories where you can submit your product and reach new audiences.
How does EarlyHunt work?
- Makers submit their product via the Launch your project page.
- The product is listed in the “This Week's Hunt” section with a countdown timer showing days, hours, minutes, and seconds remaining.
- Visitors upvote products—the rank number updates dynamically.
- When the timer reaches zero, the top three voted products win badges and dofollow backlinks. Past winners are displayed in the “Past Week Hunts” and “Past Month Hunts” archives.
Pricing
EarlyHunt follows a freemium model. Basic listing is free, and a premium upgrade (marked “Premium” on some product cards) is available for enhanced placement or features. No specific pricing tiers or dollar amounts are listed on the site.
