When To Launch helps makers optimize their Product Hunt launches with data-driven insights on timing and engagement. Discover the best days, peak hours, and your chances of landing in the top 3. Plan smarter launches and achieve success with ease. ๐
I built When To Launch (https://whentolaunch.xyz) because letโs be honest, launching on Product Hunt can feel like throwing a dart blindfolded. After watching countless launches (and launching myself), I realized something: timing isnโt just about picking a random Tuesday or Wednesdayโitโs about knowing when your audience is actually paying attention.
When To Launch tries to solve one thing: it analyzes historical Product Hunt data to help you pick the optimal launch time for your specific type of product. Itโs simple and focused โ no overwhelming dashboards, just actionable insights to make your launch count.

With our launch coming up soon, it was super valuable for me to dig deeper into these analytics! Next time I'll probably scramble the team to launch on a weekend. How to you plan to monetize this?

@per_clingweld Thank you for your valuable feedback. Currently we are not focussed on monetizing this, we wanted to create value and see how it goes from there. Also wishing you the best for your upcoming launch
This is such a smart tool @vignesh_vaidyanathan and much needed as well! Timing really does make a difference, and having data-backed insights instead of just guessing is a game-changer.
Also would love to know, if have you noticed any unexpected trends in launch success, like certain niche categories performing better on off-peak days?
Congrats in the launch and sending wins to the makers :)
@whatshivamdo Thanks a lot :) We have few insights that we want to test over a period of time and then publish. We hope to push interesting insights in the coming few weeks.
