## Why people look for a DevHunt alternative

- Ranking depends on upvotes, so the result reflects how many people you can send to vote in a week.
- Launches run on a weekly cycle, so the spotlight is short.
- It is focused on developer tools, so other kinds of products have a narrower fit.
- Paid promotion is sold as ad slots, so check what is free and what is paid before you plan around it.

## What DevHunt still does better

A focused developer audience. If you build a dev tool, DevHunt puts it in front of people who actually evaluate such tools, with a visible history of weekly winners, a daily digest and a weekly newsletter. RankCert does not match that reach in the developer niche.

## Who should stay on DevHunt

Makers of developer tools who already have a community that will vote, and who want exposure to developers in a launch week.
