Frequently asked questions
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.
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 $1?
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 if we launch. Full perk list for agents.
Why do I have to pay?
Demand test, not a mailing list. Your $1 means “build this.” We need 100 paid signups in two weeks to go full-time. Refundable until we publicly commit; after that, you're in.
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: $1, receipt from Stripe, refundable until we commit.
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; not required for the $1 demand test.
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.
What if I refer people and you disappear?
You get a Stripe receipt. Refundable until we commit to building. Referral credits only matter if we ship—and you're helping decide that with your dollar.
