Common questions about market validation.
The practical details before you run a scan.
We do not ask the model to invent demand. We scan real public conversations across platforms like Reddit, X, and Product Hunt, and attach the sources to each conclusion so you can verify them yourself.
No. You get a full report with evidence, patterns, pricing clues, competitor weaknesses, distribution paths, and a clear GO, PIVOT, or KILL verdict.
That is still a win. It can save you months of wasted work and thousands of dollars, helping you move to a better angle or a different idea faster.
Yes — private by default. Your concept is kept private during analysis and is never published automatically. Sharing is entirely opt-in: you can generate a private link to send to a partner or investor, or explicitly list a finished report in our public directory. Both are off unless you turn them on, and you can turn them off again anytime.
Running a market scan is free. Unlocking the full report for a concept (the GO / PIVOT / KILL verdict, every source-backed signal, competitor gaps, and pivot suggestions) is a one-time $29 payment with lifetime access.
Most scans finish in under 2 minutes. Our distributed engine scans multiple sources in parallel to give you results almost instantly.
