Which one to use
Pick Product Hunt for a big, planned launch day: it has a large global audience, and launches tend to do best when makers bring their own supporters on the day.
Pick IndieNeed when you want a calmer launch aimed at indie makers, a product page that stays useful after launch day, and a dofollow link included with any paid plan (or $3 on a free listing).
You don't have to pick one. Many makers list on several sites; a listing on IndieNeed is free and doesn't stop you launching anywhere else.
