Frequently asked questions

It's a place to publish comparison pages — 'your product as an alternative to X' — that rank in Google for the searches people already run when they're thinking about switching.

Because that's what people do right before they switch. 'Notion alternatives', 'cheaper than Figma', 'X vs Y' — these are buying-intent searches. The person typing them has already decided something isn't working. A comparison page puts you in front of them at exactly that moment.

SaaS founders, indie hackers and growth teams who have a real product and a well-known competitor. If nobody is searching for your competitor's name, this won't do much for you.

A couple of minutes. Paste your URL, name a competitor, and the AI writes a full draft — intro, feature matrix, pricing table, FAQ. You review and edit everything before it goes live.

No. There's no code, no DNS, nothing to install. If you can fill in two URLs you can publish a page.

Every published page joins a week and stays on the board for that whole week. Readers vote, and votes decide the ranking. It gives your page a launch moment instead of quietly appearing in a list.

If you publish Monday through Wednesday, it joins the week already running and goes live immediately. From Thursday onward it's scheduled for the following Monday.

Because a page published on Saturday gets about a day on the board before the week closes, which is barely worth having. Wednesday is the last day that still leaves roughly four and a half days. You're not losing anything — you're getting a full week instead of a scrap of one.

Yes. You can schedule up to six weeks ahead, which is useful if you want the page live alongside a launch, a funding announcement or a conference.

No. A scheduled page isn't on the board, isn't in search, and returns nothing if someone guesses the URL. You get a private preview link so you can check it yourself.

It stays published forever. The week only decides board placement — the page keeps its URL and keeps earning search traffic long after the board has moved on. That's the part that actually compounds.

Net votes first — upvotes minus downvotes. Ties break on views, then on which page published earlier. No secret weighting, no paid placement.

No, it starts at one — your own. You published it, so you get the first vote automatically. You can't vote for it twice.

No. Sponsored slots are clearly labelled and sit outside the ranking entirely. Board position is votes only.

Never. The draft opens in an editor and nothing goes live until you press publish. Every table row and paragraph is yours to rewrite.

Treat it as a starting point, not a source of truth. The model is instructed to stick to checkable facts and to avoid anything disparaging, but it can still get a price or a feature wrong. You're the one publishing it, so check the specifics.

You get a placeholder draft and a message saying so, with your inputs preserved. Hit regenerate, or fill in the fields yourself. Nothing is lost.

It's writing around a thousand words of structured content in one pass — intro, feature matrix, pricing table and four FAQ answers. Don't close the tab while it runs; the draft can't be recovered if you do.

Yes. Clear the draft and write your own. The AI is a shortcut, not a requirement.

No honest answer here is a guarantee. What the page gives you is the right structure for the query — a direct answer paragraph, a comparison table, pricing, and an FAQ — on a domain that's already indexed. Ranking still depends on your competition and how good your page is.

Yes, a followed link from your comparison page, which is real content about your product. The listing on the board is nofollow, because a directory row isn't earned the same way.

No. Selling links is exactly the practice that gets sites penalised, which would destroy the value of every page here including yours. Sponsored slots are nofollow and clearly labelled.

The short intro paragraph at the top of your page. It's written to be the passage that AI answer engines — Google AI Overviews, Perplexity, ChatGPT search — quote when someone asks how your product compares. That's why it sits above the images rather than below.

No. Each page is generated for one specific product pair. Duplicate content across comparison pages would sink all of them, which is the opposite of what anyone wants here.

Not today. Pages live on althunt.io, which is what lets them benefit from the domain already being indexed.

Every page has a public 'suggest a correction' link. It goes straight to you as the owner, and you get an email about it. You fix it or you don't — but you'll know.

No, and you shouldn't want to. Claims must be checkable facts — a feature exists or it doesn't, a price is what it is. Calling a competitor's product bad isn't just against the rules here, it's how you end up with a legal letter.

Yes, the same way you can against them. That's the deal, and it's why the factual standard matters in both directions.

If it contains something factually wrong, file a correction and it gets reviewed. A page being unflattering isn't grounds for removal on its own — an accurate comparison you don't like is still accurate.

Yes. Publishing is free with Google sign-in, one page on the free plan. No card required.

$49, and it's still Coming Soon — you can't buy it yet. It'll cover up to 10 pages, unlimited edits and translation.

You'll be told, and you can join the Pro waitlist. Your existing page keeps working exactly as before — nothing gets switched off.

Yes. Edits go live immediately and the URL never changes, so nothing you've already shared breaks.

Yes, from your dashboard. Bear in mind that a page which has started ranking loses that position when it's removed.

Every non-essential email has an unsubscribe link. Messages about your own pages — a correction request, for instance — keep coming, because those are things you asked to be told about.
