Stop scaling a leak: Why your SaaS needs a "Road Test" before the big Hunt.
Hey Product Hunt,
We’ve all seen those launches that look like they’re crushing it but end up with zero actual retention. I’ve been looking at the data from our first 5 pilot campaigns at shipshared.link, and the reality is pretty simple: most of us are accidentally scaling "leaks".
We recently worked with an Education SaaS founder who hit a 5% signup rate—which is a dream for cold traffic. But because we ran a Road Test first, the session recordings showed something brutal: his mobile onboarding was completely broken. He found that "leak" for $69. Imagine if he’d found that out after hitting the front page of Product Hunt. The momentum would have been totally wasted.
I want to be clear—we aren't a marketing agency. We’re just a way to get real human eyes on your site for a fixed fee to find the "truth" before you spend on the "tools". Strictly zero bots, ever.
My advice? Before you trigger your Hunt, send 200+ verified humans to your URL. Watch where they get stuck in your recordings. Fix the friction. Then, and only then, hit the gas with those professional 4K videos and growth pushes.
I’d love to know—how are you guys actually stress-testing your UI before you send it to the world?
Find the Truth. Then Build the Tool.

Just to add some context to that Education SaaS case—the founder actually paid for 200 clicks, but we over-delivered over 1,000 through our network. The 5% signup rate was a massive win because it proved his site was brilliant and ready for a global audience. The mobile bug wasn't a "failure" of the product; it was just a technical leak we caught before they committed to a massive Google Ads spend. Finding it early meant he could fix it, rerun the test, and then scale with 100% confidence.
The biggest question we get is how we verify the traffic. We strictly use a network of verified creators who share your link with their actual audience. Because these are 100% real humans, you get high-fidelity behavioral data in your session recordings—not just empty hits. We have a zero-bot policy because you can't find a "truth" from a script.
We intentionally avoided the marketing agency model. We don't want to sell you a $2,000 monthly retainer or a complex "strategy". We are just a cost-effective way to get a fixed number of human eyes on your URL for a fixed fee. It’s about giving you the diagnostic data you need to iterate, without the agency overhead.
