Every figure in this table was read off that company's own page, and each source URL with the day it was read is at the foot of this page. ShipWall is the publisher of this table and is not one of the 2 compared.

“Not published” means that company does not state the figure on the page cited at the foot of this page. It is not a claim that no such figure exists. A company that publishes no limit most likely has none, but most likely is not a fact, and this table prints what was read rather than what was inferred.

When should I pick Product Hunt, and when Uneed?

Product Hunt — Reach is the only thing you are optimising for. It is free, it is by a wide margin the largest audience of the five, and nothing on this page argues otherwise. If a launch has one shot and the goal is the biggest possible day, this is the board. Uneed — You want to choose your own launch date and you want a do-follow backlink stated up front. Uneed is the only board of the five that sells the date itself rather than a placement, and its pricing page states the link it gives you — “Do-follow backlink from a 75DR website”.

When each of these is the right pick

ShipWall does not sell any of these and has nothing to gain from which one you choose. Each case below is the one that option genuinely wins.

  • Product Hunt. Reach is the only thing you are optimising for. It is free, it is by a wide margin the largest audience of the five, and nothing on this page argues otherwise. If a launch has one shot and the goal is the biggest possible day, this is the board.
  • Uneed. You want to choose your own launch date and you want a do-follow backlink stated up front. Uneed is the only board of the five that sells the date itself rather than a placement, and its pricing page states the link it gives you — “Do-follow backlink from a 75DR website”.

What was checked, and when

Every cell above names the page it was read from and the day it was read. A figure earlier than 11 Sep 2026 fails this build rather than rendering, because a wrong figure about a named company renders perfectly.
