The 5-star system is broken. Honestly is a Chrome extension that finds and verifies real product opinions from Reddit, TikTok, YouTube & Instagram directly on product pages. No ads, sponsorships, nor AI. Just reviews you can trust.
yea the 5 star system is basically useless at this point. pulling from reddit and youtube makes way more sense, thats where ppl actually say what they think. do you guys do any filtering for fake or paid reviews on those platforms too?
Holy sh*t, why did no one else think of this? Also really curious on how you will market it - UGC would be my best bet
Once the tool aggregates all the discussions, what formats can we extract this data in? Is there a way to export these insights to share with the broader team, or does it all live inside the dashboard for now?
As a first-time Product Hunt user, I’m approaching this as a novice with limited experience evaluating SaaS platforms quickly.
From my perspective, the landing page felt unclear in terms of what exactly is being offered. At first glance, it appears to be a social media monitoring tool -> sounds great!
However, I also noticed there’s a Chrome extension and it left me wondering: who is the primary audience here? Is this built for users like me (e.g., brands or marketers) to monitor my brand, or is it intended for general consumers?
This raised a broader question about the product’s positioning. Is this a dual-sided platform that depends on consumer adoption to deliver value to brands? Or is it simply an extension of the same technology into a different use case?
I understand the offering to brands, and it's a great offering. Congrats.
How do you handle products that have very few mentions across Reddit and YouTube? Do you fall back to other sources or just show what's available? Congrats on shipping!
Reddit and YouTube reviews are genuinely the most useful signal when buying something. Sponsored content is noise but someone spending 20 minutes testing a product on YouTube usually catches the real issues. Does it pull the actual text/timestamps or just surface the video links?
This hits a real pain point.
Ratings are broken, people already dig through Reddit and YouTube before buying. Bringing that context directly into the page is smart.
If you can keep it clean from spam and manipulation, this becomes a must-have.
Super excited to be on this journey of making online shopping more transparent with a better review system!
Hey Product Hunt 👋, I’m Paolo, CEO & Co-founder of Honestly.
THE PROBLEM
Online shopping is broken. Not because there aren’t enough reviews, but because you can’t trust them.
Why today’s review system needs fixing:
❌ Fake & incentivized reviews: Over 30% of all online reviews are fake and ads are everywhere. This will only get worse as AI gets more unrecognizable.
❌ Time wasted finding real opinions: The takes that matter live in social media, so to get there, the average shopper spends 30 minutes buried in tabs just to find something useful.
After experiencing this frustration over and over ourselves, we decided to fix it.
WHAT HONESTLY DOES
Honestly brings real, verified opinions directly onto product pages where they belong.
Instead of relying on a suspicious 5-stars, we surface what real people are already saying elsewhere.
✅ Instant real reviews: Pulls genuine opinions from Reddit, TikTok, and YouTube real time.
✅ Automatically verified: No bots, no AI summaries, no paid ads. Just authentic human voices.
✅ No more tab suffocation: Now that everything is in one place, no need for jumping between Google, Reddit, YouTube, and other social platforms.
✅ Clear buying signals – See what people actually love & hate before you spend your money.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
If you shop online and want to make better decisions without wasting time or getting tricked by fake reviews, Honestly was made for you.
I think you should try to do a more elaborate platform built in your website just like https://reppit.ai for example, currently it look more like a Service Agency website than a chrome extension tool it's a little bit weird.
This is literally automating my own shopping workflow — I always add 'reddit' to every product search because Amazon reviews are 80% fake at this point. Smart move keeping it non-AI. How do you handle products with no Reddit/YouTube mentions? And is there any deduplication for reviews from the same user across platforms?
People already check Reddit or YouTube before buying. The part I’m curious about is what happens right after install. Right now the value depends on the user remembering to click and check. If that first moment isn’t obvious, a lot of people might install it and never actually use it enough to feel the benefit.
How do you decide which real reviews from Reddit or TikTok to prioritize or filter first; like recent ones, most upvoted, or from verified buyers, to cut through noise fastest?
When someone is already using a traditional reviews stack like Yotpo/Okendo/Stamped (or even Trustpilot), what’s the specific breaking point that makes them add Honestly—what part of the PDP decision journey is failing today, and how do you prove you’re fixing it (conversion lift, reduced bounce to other tabs, time-to-purchase)?
Great idea! But now I have a problem - I won’t be able to choose a product at all because I always focus only on the negative reviews, haha. Seriously, though, this is a super useful app for me. The main thing, in my opinion, is to add protection against deliberate campaigns to damage a brand’s reputation through fake negative reviews.
How this tool can identify the "realness"? What are the parameters for identifying what is justified review?

Who hunted Honestly?
Honestly was hunted by Paolo from Honestly. 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.
