Why Ship Plainly
More than a Product Hunt generator
AI launch tools mostly stop at the Product Hunt listing. We start with positioning (who it's for, what it replaces, why now) and carry it across every channel you launch on.
One fixed price, not a quote
One price. One intake. No calls. You know what you get before you pay, and the turnaround is on the pricing card.
Written to each platform's rules
Product Hunt copy stays within PH's limits. Show HN eligibility is checked against HN's guidelines. X posts fit 280 characters. Each Reddit draft cites its subreddit's self-promo rule. Every kit passes a written QA checklist before delivery.
What's in the Launch Kit: every channel, one price
$149, 3 business days, 1 revision round. One document, one section per channel, with character counts and a note on why each angle was chosen.

What we won't do
- Sell, trade, or coordinate upvotes. Not on Product Hunt, Hacker News, Reddit, or anywhere else.
- Invent proof. No fake stats, users, testimonials, or logos. If you don't have proof yet, the slot stays empty.
- Sneak past subreddit rules. If a community doesn't allow self-promotion, we tell you and skip it.
- Post for you or promise a ranking. You post from your own accounts. We sell clear writing, not results.

What is Ship Plainly?
Ship Plainly is a fixed-price launch copy kit covering Product Hunt, Show HN, X and landing pages for indie builders. One kit covers Product Hunt, Show HN (or Indie Hackers), an X launch thread, subreddit-specific Reddit drafts, and landing-page copy, each written to that platform's rules. You pay, then send a short intake. No calls.
How is it different from AI launch tools or a freelancer?
AI launch tools ($19–$49) mostly cover the Product Hunt listing. Human launch help starts around $300–$750, and specialist copywriters charge about $900–$2,200 for one landing page. We cover every channel in one kit at a fixed price. See the comparison (published prices checked Oct 2026).
How much does it cost?
Launch Kit: $149 one-time. Launch Kit Pro: $349 one-time. Founding Kit: $79 for the first 10 orders. Ship Log: $99 per month, cancel anytime.
How fast is delivery?
Launch Kit in 3 business days, Pro in 5, and Founding in 4. The clock starts when payment and a complete intake are both in.
Do you sell upvotes or guarantee a ranking?
No. We never sell, buy, trade, or coordinate upvotes or comments, and we never guarantee rankings, traffic, or revenue. We sell written deliverables.
Is it written by AI?
AI agents do the research and first drafts. Before delivery, every kit goes through a written QA checklist: facts traced to your intake or public pages, character limits, and each platform's rules. Personal comments, like the Product Hunt maker comment, come as an outline plus a draft that you rewrite in your own words, because Product Hunt asks for human-written comments.
Will you post it for me?
No. You post from your own accounts. That keeps it authentic and within each platform's rules.
What if my product doesn't qualify for Show HN?
Show HN is for things people can try right now, not landing pages or waitlists. If yours doesn't qualify yet, we explain why and write an Indie Hackers post instead.
What about revisions and refunds?
Revision rounds are included (1 for the Kit, 2 for Pro) within 14 days of delivery. You get a full refund before work starts. After delivery, if the kit misses what we promised and a revision doesn't fix it, you can ask for a full refund within 14 days. Full policy.
