Launch Point Zero is typically skeptical about launch websites that charge startups to be listed and have no free option. We prefer when a site charges a fee to cut to the front of the line. We’re not here to quibble over charging a little. However ProductHunt.com, arguable the most popular site to launch on, is free. If PH doesn’t charge then how can anyone else justify charging that much money to launch or list your product?
Part of Launch Point Zero’s mission is to keep our readers informed about each site. We do our best to review each launch site and keep our readers informed and make good decisions. Since we’re bootstrapped we’re very price sensitive about paying for anything.
Recently while updating our data we decided to update our review of Tekpon – it is a paid only site that charges a hefty $249. We only became aware of Tekpon back in August of 2024, and we didn’t have a lot of information back then. Upon further review of March 2025, their homepage boasts of over 230 million reviews. That is an extraordinary amount of reviews!
It also strikes us as very dubious. As of March of 2025 G2.com, one of the most popular software review sites, currently claims to have 2.9 million reviews, and it has been around since 2012. Capterra, another well known software review site, claims is has 2.5 million reviews. Somehow Tekpon has accumulated nearly 80 times more reviews than G2 in a fraction of the time.
What’s even stranger is Launch Point Zero’s first notes about Tekpon was made in August 2024, where they boasted of 34 million reviews. That means that Tekpon has accumulated 196 million reviews in less than 8 months time. That alone should raise a red flag.
All we’re saying is it is highly unlikely that Tekpon got even a tiny fraction of their reviews through real people, its likely AI generated reviews and fake profiles. We strongly recommend AGAINST anyone paying $249 for the privilege of being listed on Tekpon’s website.
