The verdict
Product Hunt or BetaList?
Product Hunt has the higher Domain Rating (91 vs 78), so its backlink carries a bit more weight. They serve different niches (Product Hunt is launch, BetaList is early-stage), so they reach different people. For launches, this isn't really an either/or: each listing is a separate backlink and a separate audience, so the honest answer is submit to both. The only reason people pick one is the time it takes to fill two forms — which is exactly what LaunchPass removes.
