How does voting work?

Voting on Buildrship is simple. Find a product you want to support, click the upvote button, and your vote is counted. Each user can cast up to 5 votes per day. Votes from users with longer engagement streaks carry more weight in the ranking algorithm — rewarding consistent community members.

How do I embed the Buildrship badge?

Accepted Answer

After your product is approved, you'll find an embed code in your product dashboard that links back to your Buildrship listing.

Question 12

What is the best Product Hunt alternative?

Accepted Answer

Buildrship is the best Product Hunt alternative for founders who want real engagement rather than algorithm gaming. While Product Hunt rankings are often influenced by pre-existing audience sizes and newsletter swaps, Buildrship curates every submission and requires voters to actually visit your product before upvoting. This ensures that rankings on Buildrship reflect genuine user interest and product quality. See our full Buildrship vs Product Hunt comparison →

Question 13

How does Buildrship compare to TinyLaunch?

Buildrship offers a more comprehensive discovery engine than TinyLaunch. While TinyLaunch focuses on micro-launches, Buildrship provides a full social network experience for founders, complete with verified votes, transparent analytics, deep-dive SEO articles, and a permanent do-follow backlink for Plus Launches. Buildrship also actively penalizes fake engagement to maintain a highly curated, high-intent audience. See our full Buildrship vs TinyLaunch comparison →

Question 14

Accepted Answer

While FoundrList is a social network focused on the founder community and conversations, Buildrship is a purpose-built curated launch platform focused strictly on product discovery and real engagement. See our full Buildrship vs FoundrList comparison →
