Fill your landing page without begging anyone.
Tweets, testimonials, and video reviews. No cold DMs, no budget needed.
Getting social proof is hard when you're starting out
βGetting social proof when you're starting out is brutal. Empty landing page, cold DMs ignored, friends who say 'sure' then never follow through. ProofSwap fixes it the obvious way. Founders help each other.β
Ghost-town landing page
You built a great product but your landing page has zero social proof.
Cold outreach is dead
50 DMs sent, 2 half-hearted replies. Backlink outreach gets ignored.
Friends ghost you
Asking friends for reviews feels awkward, and they never follow through.
Ads drain your runway
Paid ads burn your budget before you even find product-market fit.
What if founders just helped each other?
How it works
List your project
Describe your app and what social proof you need: tweets, testimonials, reviews, or more. Takes 30 seconds.
Help someone first
Find a project that needs your help. Give them a tweet, testimonial, or video review, then submit your proof.
Get proof back
Your listing goes live the moment you submit. The founders you helped see your project first when they look for someone to help back.
βAdded 3 projects and already got an app feedback exchange within the hour. The give-first model is smart β it filters out people who just want free stuff without contributing.β
Why founders switch to swapping
ProofSwap isn't competing with other swap apps. It replaces the painful defaults.
