Hey Product Hunters, I'm Serge Shagal, one of the minds behind Presence. In our hyper-connected world, we've lost touch with real, personal interactions. Presence is here to change that. How it started: My journey as an immigrant revealed a harsh reality: Although I had a vast online network, there ...
so happy to be a part of this team and to work on a product that I truly love!
@ollyflow, @l1berty, have you seen all these comments? People are saying thanks for the app and how great the design is. crazyy
Threado leads on raw interest score. Presence leads on engagement ratio. That split is worth paying attention to. Threado attracted more initial eyeballs, but Presence's audience engaged deeper. For most buyers, engagement ratio is the better signal.
These products share 1 categories: Community. Moderate overlap suggests they target related but distinct use cases.
Threado is also tagged in SaaS, Tech, which Presence isn't. That suggests Threado positions itself more broadly or targets an adjacent audience.
Presence has unique category tags in Android, Global Nomad, Social Network. Different positioning can mean a different buyer profile, even within the same space.
Threado launched Aug 2022. Presence launched Jan 2024. Threado has had more time to iterate and build a user base. Presence had the advantage of launching into a more defined market with clearer user expectations.
Threado has a 0.30 engagement ratio (strong), based on 270 discussion threads across 892 interest points. That ratio puts it in the top tier for Community products. People who noticed it had opinions about it.
Presence has a 0.47 engagement ratio (exceptionally high), based on 403 discussions across 864 interest points. Strong engagement suggests an audience that tested the product and came back to talk about it.
The 0.16 gap in engagement ratio is significant. Presence generated substantially deeper community discussion per interest point.

These products also compete in the Community category:

Generally, yes. Engagement ratio is hard to fake. A product can generate artificial interest, but sustained discussion threads require people who actually used the product and had something to say about it.
Automatically. We compare products that share at least one category and have similar interest scores. Products too far apart in traction don't make for useful comparisons.
No. Interest is launch-day attention. Engagement ratio is a better quality signal. The product with more discussions per interest point usually has stronger product-market fit.
How directly these products compete. Three or more shared categories means they're going after the same user. One shared category means they approach the space from different angles. Zero overlap and they probably shouldn't be compared.
Comparisons are generated automatically when two products have enough data overlap. If the pair you want isn't here, the products might be in different categories or too far apart in engagement.
Either the product didn't meet our engagement threshold, or it doesn't share enough category tags with the other product to generate a meaningful comparison. We'd rather show no comparison than a misleading one.
