FAQ

What is this, exactly?

You find the audience. Your pitch closes them. Honest Pitches is a permanent, scored pitch page plus an HP code for threads and DMs—Infomercials 2.0: honest commercial, on purpose. HP-opening has the full story.

What does “as seen on Honest Pitches” mean?

Every pitch on Honest Pitches has a short HP code (e.g. HP-5SMTL-5) that doubles as the channel. The badge reads: As seen on Honest Pitches — Channel HP-5SMTL-5, rated 4.8. It's the infomercial-2.0 framing: the pitch is the show, the HP code is the channel.

Who is this for?

Builders and small operators tired of re-pitching in every thread—and anyone with something worth selling who wants one page that compounds instead of posts that evaporate.

Do you replace my marketing?

No. You still hunt for eyeballs—email, ads, communities, social. We replace the repeat performance: one pitch closes (proof, price, CTA, score) so you're not selling from scratch in every comment.

What do I get for my $100?

Founding Pitcher locked in: badge forever, 10 pitch credits, 50% off rating windows, first year Verified free, audience invites, referral credits. Publish on day one when the platform launches. Full perk list for agents.

Why $100, and why a cap of 100?

The price funds the platform launch. The cap is the design: Founding Pitcher is the platform's credibility tier—a small, named group of early builders, not an unlimited badge. Once the 100th Founding Pitcher checks out, the offer closes permanently. The SKU is not re-opened.

I'm a builder. What's in it for me?

Stop burning hours re-pitching in feeds. Ship one permanent asset, tune it per audience (HP code each), let HonestScore build on the record. You drive traffic; the page closes.

How is this different from Product Hunt or launch directories?

Directories sell queue jumps. We sell rating windows—time for critics to score your pitch, not a featured slot. Best pitch, not bank account.

I'm not a creator. Why would I pay?

Founding Critic if you want—rate pitches, shape what honest commercial looks like before the pile-on. Or back a product you'll use. Either way: $100, receipt from Stripe, 30-day money-back guarantee.

How do you stop gaming?

Time-boxed windows, public scoring formula, sybil/review-bomb review, published moderation stats. Details on HP-opening under “Trust & mechanics.”

What are Verified Buyer codes?

At launch: real customers redeem a code to prove they used the product—modest score weight, capped, non-transferable. Human signal, not pay-for-reviews. Ships with launch; orthogonal to Founding Pitcher.

Is this legit?

Stripe receipt. Public scores. Disclosures on every pitch. We're not asking for blind trust—we're asking you to trust the audience's judgment on the record.
