Does Zarek post to my accounts?

No. Zarek drafts every post and tells you where and when to put it; you send it. Reddit and Hacker News penalise automated promotion, and your accounts are yours.

Does Zarek submit directories automatically?

It opens each directory with your copy pre-filled, and you send it. We tested all 29 twice: in June 2026 one accepted a submission without an account, and by August none did. Zarek does not claim to do what the directories no longer allow.

What does Zarek cost?

$29 for one month of one product, down to $250 for a year of it. You buy a block of time rather than a subscription: nothing renews, there is nothing to cancel, and when it runs out you decide again. Every product gets a 3-day free trial from the day you create it, no card needed.

Does Zarek show me every channel, or does it pick?

It picks. Zarek researches every channel it can find for your product — all 29 directories, plus the subreddits, newsletters, podcasts and press for your vertical — then ranks them and puts 5 in each of the six phases on your calendar. The rest are not deleted; they are one click away on the roadmap. Ten steps are hard prerequisites the ranking can never hide, including your landing page, your positioning and your Product Hunt kit.

How is it different from a directory checklist or ChatGPT?

Zarek verifies each listing actually went live and keeps re-checking, and it tracks clicks per channel. A checklist does neither.

The Zarek method

Watch your launch unfold

Zarek designs a phased roadmap and works it with you — step through each phase to see exactly what it does, what it teases up for you, and what's left in your hands.

You opened the tab with 300 directories. You closed it.

Zarek reads all 29 directories it tracks, plus the subreddits, newsletters and podcasts that fit what you built, and ranks them against your actual product. Then it puts five in each phase on your calendar and holds the rest back.

Nothing is deleted. The ones it held back are one click away. And the steps a launch cannot survive without — your landing page, your positioning, your Product Hunt kit — can never be hidden, whatever the ranking says.

Most tools hand you the whole list. That is the easy half.

Early feedback

Zarek caught 8 positioning red flags that saved my launch.

I ran ThumbRank through Zarek before our Product Hunt launch. It completely reshaped our go-to-market: killed misleading CTR claims, rewrote our hero copy around a clear 1-line positioning, and structured our founder narrative (‘3 years, 0→50K, thumbnail > title’) across Twitter, PH, and our site. Zarek builds things that actually move the needle.

Zarek’s output for BrandScope is impressively on-point.

It flagged “tuned for a consumer product — includes demo video + blog/SEO” and generated a full 15-day launch roadmap with 26 directory listings (TopAI.tools, Toolify, Futurepedia…). Even the fact-sheet check (“double-check githubUrl, docsUrl, founder, competitors”) is exactly the kind of nudge that’s easy to skip.

Everything a first launch needs

You built the product. Zarek plans the launch, writes every post, and checks each listing went live. The posting stays yours.

A roadmap built for your product

Paste a URL and get a phased plan scheduled around launch day — directories and channels picked for your vertical, not a generic checklist.

Every piece of copy, written

X thread, Show HN, LinkedIn, Reddit, blog, Product Hunt kit, launch email — grounded in your product, ready to paste.

The right places to post

A researched plan of the exact subreddits, communities, influencers, newsletters, podcasts & press for you — each with a budget and a ready-to-send pitch.

Every listing checked, not just submitted

Most tools submit and hope. Zarek visits the URL and confirms it rendered — even JS-walled pages like X and Product Hunt — then re-checks so nothing silently dies.

Know what actually worked

Tracked links with deduped, bot-filtered clicks tell you which channels drove real traffic.

A briefing every morning

Overdue tasks, dead listings, follow-ups, what's due — emailed to you daily, so you always know the next move.
