LaunchPact is a web platform built around one problem: launching on Product Hunt without early momentum. It matches founders who are launching near the same date and lets them form mutual pacts to upvote each other's products on launch day.
The company positions the product against unreliable Discord and Reddit groups, where support is chaotic and people flake. Instead of mass upvoting a list, founders only pledge to products they would genuinely back, and a pact forms only when interest is mutual. The site states that upvotes are never purchased through LaunchPact.
A founder starts by listing a launch with the product name, link, tagline, and launch date. The listing appears in the feed of founders launching around the same time. From there, the founder browses upcoming launches, looks at products, and backs the ones they would genuinely upvote. That pledge is a one-way commitment.
When the other founder receives a notification and backs the product in return, a pact forms. LaunchPact sends a reminder when a partner launches. The founder upvotes on Product Hunt, takes a screenshot, and uploads it, and AI verifies it in seconds. Partners can optionally verify a real comment, though that is never required.
The core features are mutual pacts, a launch feed filterable by category and trust score, screenshot verification, and reminders. A trust score rewards partners who show up and penalizes those who flake, which the site describes as the mechanism that keeps the system honest.
Activated launches add more. These include priority feed placement on launch day, a crown badge, AI comment drafts for pact partners, an indexed public launch page with a dofollow backlink, a Launch Day Report the day after launch, and 8 AI Launch Analyst questions answered from data on 10,000+ launches.
LaunchPact is a web platform where founders launching on Product Hunt form mutual pacts to upvote each other. Every launch-day upvote is verified with a screenshot, and trust scores hold partners accountable.
Joining and listing one product is free, with 10 pacts per launch included. Activating a launch costs $34 one-time per launch and adds unlimited pacts, an indexed launch page, and a Launch Day Report.

LaunchPact says it differs from upvote exchanges because you only pledge to products you would genuinely support, and no pact forms without mutual interest. Founders should review Product Hunt's current rules themselves.
No. The site says it does not guarantee matches or upvotes. When a pact forms, both founders commit to upvoting each other, verified on launch day.
The pricing page states a money-back guarantee, offering a full refund with no questions asked if you are not happy with an activated launch.
