ProofSwap

Exchange social proof instantly

Real developers trading tweets, backlinks, and testimonials — no cold DMs, no awkward asks, no cost.

Free for developers — powered by sponsors.

Getting social proof is hard when you're starting out

Sound familiar?

You built a great product but your landing page has zero testimonials

Cold outreach for backlinks gets ignored — 50 DMs, 2 replies

Asking friends for reviews feels awkward and they never follow through

Paid ads drain your budget before you find product-market fit

What if founders just helped each other?

How it works

Step 1

List your project

Describe your app and what social proof you need — tweets, backlinks, reviews, or more. Takes 30 seconds.

Step 2

Help someone first

Find a project that needs your help. Give them a tweet, backlink, or testimonial — then submit your proof.

Step 3

Get proof back

Earn credits when your proof is verified. Projects with fewer credits get helped first — keeping it fair for everyone.

Frequently asked questions

Is ProofSwap free?
Yes, completely. Creating an account, listing projects, and exchanging proof costs nothing. The platform is funded by sponsors.
What does "give first" mean?
Instead of waiting for someone to help you, you start by helping another founder. Write a tweet, add a backlink, or leave a testimonial. Once verified, you earn credits that keep matching fair.
What types of proof can I exchange?
Tweets and social posts, backlinks, written testimonials, video reviews, app feedback, and more. Each project specifies what it needs and what the owner can give.
How are exchanges verified?
When you submit proof, the receiver reviews and verifies it. Verified exchanges earn you credits and build your trust signals on the platform.
How do credits keep things fair?
Projects with fewer credits are shown first in matching, so newer projects get help quickly. The more you give, the more you earn — but the system always prioritizes those who need help most.
