Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I'm Mohammed, founder of Afkar (أفكار — "Ideas" in Arabic).
I built Afkar because running user research in the MENA region was broken. Teams either paid $10K+/year for expansive tools with zero Arabic-speaking participants, or they cobbled together Google Forms and WhatsApp groups and hoped for the best.
Afkar fixes both sides:
🔬 For creators (startups, UX teams): Publish any of 8 study types and get results from real Arabic-speaking users in hours. No subscriptions — pay per study starting at ~$2.70.
💰 For participants: Earn SAR 60/hr (~$16/hr) for sharing opinions. Fair pay, quick payouts, meaningful tasks.
What makes Afkar different:
• Arabic-first, fully bilingual with proper RTL support
• Transparent pricing — live cost calculator before you pay
• 8 study types covering the full UX research toolkit
• Participants fairly compensated — no more $0.10 surveys
We're live at afkarlab.com — would love your feedback. If you work with Arabic-speaking users, what does your research workflow look like today?

Who hunted Afkar?
Afkar was hunted by Mohmmed Alwakid. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
