7 months ago I launched v1. Had to wait 6 Months for v2 launch

Back in May, I launched PromptPerf on Product Hunt. Got 161 upvotes and some brutally honest feedback:

- "Sadly no Gemini"

- "API key friction"

- "Need multi-model comparison" — multiple users

I spent the last 7 months building exactly what they asked for. I had been informed that there is a 6 months wait period from ProductHunt before a relaunch hence I decided to make small changes over the period and monitor user behaviours.

What changed:

❌ Before: 3 OpenAI models only

✅ Now: 100+ models (GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, Llama, DeepSeek)

❌ Before: Required API key to try

✅ Now: Works without signup — free trial

❌ Before: Test one model at a time

✅ Now: Compare 5 models side-by-side

What I learned:

1. Your first launch is research, not revenue

2. The comments matter more than upvotes

3. Building what users ask for > building what you think is cool

We're live on Product Hunt today. Would love your feedback or just an upvote if you think this is useful. Product Launch
