@vaibhav_sinha1 Getting things done on autopilot sounds very good. I like the ease this platform would bring to businesses.
@vaibhav_sinha1 Congrats on the launch! Wishing you and your team an exciting journey ahead. What inspired you to create this?
It’s definitely a great idea. Especially useful for companies that offer Freemiums. I know first hand how difficult it can be to convert tree users to paid. I also know that it ain’t easy to make those users take up your incentives and offers. My guess is Shoutout solely relies on the email addresses ? Or are those incentives promoted in app too ? Asking because many free users opt out of email marketing therefore Shoutout wouldn’t be as effective if only email is being used to notify the users. Either way congrats on the launch and I hope to give it a go and see how it works myself.
@simona_o_neill3 Hi Simona
We have a widget that gets added to your application by adding a couple of lines of code. The incentives are promoted within your application through that widget. We do not rely on emails at all.

Is this another AWS story? We'll find out! It's so cool to see a tool born from a company solving their own internal issues (and finding so much more PMF because it's a widely recognized problems for so many). I love how simple it is (MVP built in 2hrs?!). It also makes a lot of sense to build this into the user journey. I have a feeling lots of companies will start adopting this.
One suggestion, why not put Cohesive's story up front?! It's a fantastic brand name + it explains how Shoutout was born. It's such a great case study.
Anyhow, congrats @vaibhav_sinha1 and team! Well deserved upvoted!
@tonyhanded Thanks for the kind words Tony.
Once I solved the problem internally for our own use case, I talked to a few marketers and founders to validate the problem statement. Got to learn a lot from those conversations.
The first version of the product, that I was planning to launch 2 weeks back did not have customer onboarding and engagement related incentives. While it was in the pipeline, the conversations with founders helped me understand how critical those are, and a lot of them got excited to hear that the feature is in the works. Hence I decided to postpone the launch and build those first. Great to see that more people are relating to those use cases :)
I you would want to give the product a try, I'd be happy to work with your team and get it up and running. Let me know :)
PS: Thanks for the feedback about the website. Will definitely incorporate it in the next release.
I love the idea of rewarding users for sharing their experiences. It's a smart way to boost engagement and grow your customer base. Excited to see how this helps businesses grow!
Hey Product Hunters 👋
I'm Gaurav, one of the co-creators of Shoutout.
I'm here all day to chat and answer any questions. If you'd like a quick demo to see Shoutout in action, I’d love to show you how it can transform your business growth.

Let's connect and make growth happen! 📣
@thepmfguy Congratulations on the launch!
Optimizing the sign-up to activation funnel is a challenge every startup faces, and I see that Shoutout is definitely addressing this need.
🙋🏻♂️ I have a question?
Are you incentivising power users differently than new users? Power users are the best advocates for your product, and they can bring in high-intent users through word of mouth. Hence, treating them differently can help in driving better results for your product.
Looking forward to seeing Shoutout's impact!
@prashaaantin1 Hey Prashant! Thanks for supporting us.
With Shoutout, you have the functionality to set the audience whether you want a particular offer to be visible to them or not?
In case of power users, you can specific offers that are exclusive for them.
Would love to give you a quick walkthrough of the product and help you in setting it up if you need. 🤝
Hey Vaibhav,
Congrats on the launch! Shoutout sounds like a fantastic way to drive engagement and growth. How do you see Shoutout evolving in the next year?
@alex_dulub Thanks Alex.
We have a few major features in the pipeline:
1. Custom rewards: Companies will be able to reward users with their platform specific currency, such as their own credits system, or by unlocking some features for the user.
2. User referrals solution
3. Analytics integration: Ability to send analytics events to your analytics solution of choice
4. A lot more widget customization options
5. Mobile SDK: To show rewards within Android and iPhone apps.
Congratulations on the launch! Turning free users to paid is a real growth problem and I've not seen a solution like this before. I've been an early user of Shoutout and absolutely love using the product.
It has a unique gamified way to place the right incentives at the right spots to not only spread awareness about your product but also increases the pace of converting active users to paid.
Love it!
@hoshang_m Thanks a ton for supporting us and trying us out at our early stages. Looking forward to ensure Airbook's business grows to next level! 💪🏿
Love the idea of Shoutout's solving the problem of user acquisition and onboarding. Congrats on the launch. Good luck!
Hi Shout Out team! This looks super-interesting! We've been toying with the idea of introducing an Ambassador programme at streamalive.com to reward people if they talk about our product on social media or in their newsletter.
This seems like a great way to manage that ambassador programme and track who's published content to earn a reward.
@peterclaridge Thanks Peter. We would be glad to talk to you to understand your goals and help set up Shoutout for StreamAlive.
Sounds like an interesting tool. Asking out of curiosity, do you guys have the ability to add custom tasks like Review us on XYZ portal and get Y?
@savan_kharod1 Absolutely. You can add any task to be performed on any platform and decide to reward the user with any of the supported reward types.
In fact, you can even reward users to perform tasks on your own platform. For example, if you were Notion, and you wanted to build your library of publicly available templates, you could create a task for it. Whenever a user would then create a template, you would send an event to Shoutout using the SDK and we would automatically reward the user.
Congrats to all the team @ Shoutout! All the best with the launch!
It definitely sounds as a powerful tool to improve user conversion!
@charly_oka Thank you Charly! Would love to have a deeper feedback from you once you use the product.
Congratulations on the launch Gaurav! 🎉🎉
Shoutout looks a really good tool to increase user retention as that’s one of the hardest things to do as a young startup!
Shout out to all the users we get to keep thanks to you guys! 😄
Nice Thought Vaibhav!
Does it help them track the leads referred by them and the amount paid by them?
@rahul_agarwal23 Hi Rahul. Right now we don't do revenue attribution, because majority of the campaigns that you can run with Shoutout don't have a direct way of tracking revenue. For example, you could run a campaign to get your customers to write a G2 review for you. Because of the high number of reviews, you would get more visibility on G2 from visitors, and some would finally convert to your customers. But we won't be able to attribute the new revenue to the campaign you ran.
Congrats! A few weeks ago, I was inquiring about the reward program tool in the PH community, but I didn't find any that were particularly suitable. I was already planning to develop one myself, so I was very happy to see Shoutout. I will look into it to see if it meets my needs: I hope that both parties can receive rewards for registrations and subscriptions made through the invitation link.
@zenda1122 Hi Zenda. Glad you found us :)
Happy to demo the product to you and discuss your use cases.
Congrats @vaibhav_sinha1 It could also be a great way to incentivize activity in customer community environments. Any integrations on the roadmap for this?
@oliviervandenhoogen Hi Olivier. Shoutout lets you create custom campaigns so you can incentivize the customers on any platform.
If you could elaborate a bit on what kind of customer community environments you have in mind, I can be more specific about how Shoutout can help.
This is interesting! Have you considered adding a 'Pay as you go' pricing structure? I think that'll be great for people who don't have 1000 monthly active customers. Congrats!
@chandula Thanks for checking out the product. Since we have just launched, we have not yet had enough discussions with customers around pricing. As we get more feedback, we would be happy to explore more pricing models and pricing plans.
@yc_j Hi. There are no tech stack requirements. The engineering effort to integrate this could be as low as 1-2 hours. Our team can support you guys with the onboarding.
If you would like, we can give you a quick demo, understand your use cases, and set the system for you. You can book a demo here: https://cal.com/shoutout/shoutou...
Congratulations on the launch team. I checked the teaser and it actually sounds like a solution to one of our problems which we are currently trying to solve. Looking forward for a demo @thepmfguy
@thepmfguy @vinodkatam94 Thanks Vinod. We will get in touch to understand your use cases and demo the product.
Hey PH 👋🏻
Here's a backstory:
📢 Shoutout started as an internal tool when @vaibhav_sinha1 saw recurring user engagement and influencer marketing challenges that Cohesive AI and many other startups face.
The primary goal was clear: to get users to actively share their experiences on social media, helping to attract new users and increase revenue.
We only wanted to get 100+ content pieces out in 30 days across various social media channels. With Shoutout integrated with Cohesive AI, the results for us were phenomenal. ⚡️
Here are some numbers:
🎯 20+ Reels with over 1 million views, proving high audience appeal.
✨ 5+ Reels with over 5 million views, confirming exceptional content reach.
🎊 Over 20 million views on the hashtag #CohesiveAI, dominating social media discussions.
