Do we need to have a fully functioning product to launch on Product Hunt?

4
•
I am considering launching an AI product that has rate limitations. Beyond these limits, users will need to pay a small fee. The fee mechanism is still in progress. In the meantime, users will see a popup inviting them to receive notifications via email for full access. Is it alright to launch this way, or do we need a fully functional product before launching?

Not really. You can launch a MVP or waitlisted product as well to gain traction. Can launch Beta version to get some user feedback and then subsequently launch version 2.0, 3.0 and so on.

Absolutely, you can launch without a fully functional product. I did something similar with my own project last year, and it worked out great. Just be upfront about the rate limitations and that the fee mechanism is still being developed. People on Product Hunt appreciate honesty and are often willing to give constructive feedback. Make sure the main features work well and use this as an opportunity to refine your product based on real user input.

@topi_danember Thanks,Tori. I'll mention the rate limitation and fee mechanism. I'd love to get some initial feedback from the Product Hunt community anyway.
