@adam_butter tried out — nice work with defining competitors! Didn't know few names in the nieche and almost got no irrelevant names. I would say it would be a little easier for me to decide if I want to try paid version if I can have a shot on what analysis I got for at least one competitor. Given the number of AI-wrappers on the market, it's scary to trust solutions in the area to give you valuable insights, not overly generalistic info. I'm not sure I will buy it for 79$, but I could at least think if it is worth it, if I can have a sample, say for 1 company. Anyway, great idea and you did first step of the research quite good!

@jo_jo26 Hi Louis, we use multiple different sources of data to crosscheck and ensure the data is accurate. In addition, we manually review some of the outputs to ensure that the reports you get are the best on the market. Also, if for whatever reason you're not happy with aspects of the report, let us know and we will improve it until you're satisfied.

@adam_butter Congratulations! Competitor Research sounds awesome! The detailed insights, especially on backlinks and target audience, are just what businesses need to stay ahead. Excited to see where you take this. Keep up the great work!

@adam_butter @kostyabolsh Totally agree. As a marketer, I usually need some tools. But many of them have the same problem. I can't see the effect clearly before I decide to pay. Maybe you can limit the trial number of the same device and same account. Anyway, it's a great tool. Congratulations on the launch!

Is it possible to set up a monitoring feature? For example, I would like to get weekly updates if some parameters have changed for some competitors.
Adam Butter
@anastasiia_stepko Hey there, that's what I'm currently working on! Hopefully we can launch that in a few weeks time. What would you like to see in the monitoring?
Anastasiia Stepko
I just gave it a try and I’m a bit disappointed that the free version only provides a list of competitors. This isn’t valuable to me because I already know them; if it’s not a new business, you will already know your competitors. I would like to see at least one AI overview of a competitor. This way, I can decide whether my own research is not as good compared to what your product provides. That’s why I didn’t proceed to pay.
Anastasiia Stepko
@adam_butter I'm curious to monitor how their pricing changes and what new features they release.
Adam Butter
@anastasiia_stepko Thanks for the feedback! There is a basic AI overview but I understand you'd want to see more information. To process the full report does take some time and ideally we'd like to prioritise the report processing for paying customers. We also have a full money back guarantee if you're not happy with the report too :)
Anastasiia Stepko
@adam_butter Totally understand the logic behind it, thanks for sharing!

Launching soon!
@adam_butter interesting product - I just tried it out! For me (might be a distinct user) but I would love to see at least one detailed competitor overview in my free tier. I sign up - I get to see my competitors (which I already know If I am doing any sort of market validation about my product) - there might be some value there on a free plan but the real meat of this (in my opinion) is to show me the insight that I would be getting by paying for the product and if that is worth the price. I think by giving free users (who are already half sold) a little more of "what to expect" might go a long way in actually converting more users or prospective customers. Food for thought - I love the idea and congrats on the launch!
Adam Butter
@dzaitzow Hi Daniel, firstly thanks for such detailed feedback. I've been hearing that we need to showcase more of the product so you can see exactly what you're getting and I agree with you. That's why I'm going to go ahead and build that so that you're more comfortable seeing the value in the product before converting. Once again, appreciate the feedback!
Daniel Zaitzow
Launching soon!
@adam_butter no stress in the slightest - I also think that if you don't want to expose that logic / want to keep it gated you could entertain having a video of end to end / the degree of detail that you're getting as like a demo / sales pitch front and centre. That might also help conversions for those who don't want to get onto the mailing list / sign up ahha. Something like competitor analysis for Facebook - what those outcomes would look like (I don't think you should do it on yourselves haha) - and have someone walk through what the insights look like in detail - and WHY they add immediate value. Oftentimes when we give folks free reign to a platform - they don't realize all of the value so I think that could also solve some of those immediate conversion hurdles.
Adam Butter
@dzaitzow Hey Daniel, that's a great idea actually. Just added a video on the checkout page to showcase the product in more detail. I'm wondering if there needs to be more about the specific user's competitors/report, what do you think?
Daniel Zaitzow
Launching soon!
@adam_butter 1000% I think as much granular detail as you can have on there is going to decrease that cart abandonment. For me that would be the real intel - what are they actually doing and HOW will this data be used to help me when structuring my mailing campaigns / targeted ads / social media strategies etc. if I (as a prospective buyer) can know how this will help in real actionable ways - that is going to make me think twice. So if you reaffirm with the video (showcasing that stuff) and then with 1 snippet or 1 free profile with everything you'll get. YOU MIGHT get a bunch of users saying oh one competitor is enough but I would assume (no data to support obviously) that most will be willing to pay the $79 to get a whole list of data to curate their strategies.
Adam Butter
@dzaitzow Thanks for the feedback, it would definitely be useful to have that and would much more easily showcase the value to users. Going to get back to work to implement this after the launch :)
Yafei Lee
I have seen a similar product before, monitor your competitors. It monitors changes in competitors' web pages to inform me of changes on the other party's web pages. What you can do better is get a competitor research report! I wonder if it is possible to detect multiple competitors at the same time and obtain a comparative research report between multiple competitors?
Adam Butter
@yafei Thanks Yafei! There are some tools out there for monitoring but what we found was that a lot of people don't even have a snapshot of the current state of their competitors so we wanted to solve that pressing issue. And for the comparative feature, right now we only enable comparison between your company and each competitor individually but we'll look into allowing multiple at the same time. Thanks for the suggestion :)
Liu Alex
Hey Adam, I love this idea! As a marketer and analyst, I have a few questions. Is this created by GPT? I've noticed that GPT's information can sometimes be delayed and not entirely accurate in this niche. Additionally, I used Semrush for my analysis report, but its traffic flow data also seems somewhat off. Are you considering incorporating some deeper logic into this app?
Adam Butter
@liu_alex1 Hi Alex, thanks for the comments! Basically it’s a mix of APIs, AI agents and manual human curation. The goal is to replicate what you would get when you pay for a $5000+ or sometimes more in a report from a consultancy. Let me know what you think and what you’d like improved :)
Liu Alex
@adam_butter That sounds awesome!! I'll try it later :) Really needed a tool like this.
Azureen Alya
Brilliant idea to be executed. Happy launch day CR!
Adam Butter
@azureen_alya Thanks Azureen, hope you find great utility in the product 😀
Stefans Keiss
This sounds really interesting! Can you tell me more about how the SEO insights are gathered for the competitor report?
Adam Butter
@memphys_sk Hi Stefans, sure! So we aggregate information about traffic, keywords, backlinks and domain authority. The idea is that we want to help you understand how much traffic your competitors are getting and which keywords are driving this traffic. Then we want to help you understand what their domain authority is and which backlinks they have so you can also start to grow your DA. In addition to all that, we also have CPC, spam score and other important metrics you can use to understand your competitors keywords. Hope that helps!
Kehui Guo
Competitor keyword analysis and competitor action items seem very useful! Is there a way to generate a summary of the competitor analysis in an report or presentation for stakeholder presentations?
Adam Butter
@kehui_guo Hey Kehui, thanks for the feedback! Right now it’s in the form of a structured website. I’m going to add the ability to download the report as a pdf and the keyword/backlink data as a csv too!
Kehui Guo
@adam_butter Glad to hear that, thanks! Looking forward to it! That should be really useful for presenting and organizing the key findings from your site~
André J
🧐 Good find
Heads up: Im unable to signup. Tried two emails. But I don't get any verification email. Waited 3+ minutes.
André J
I now got the welcome email for one email. But no verification email. 😅
Adam Butter
@sentry_co Hi Andre, thanks for the find! Apologies you're encountering issues, could you try with Google Auth and see if it works? Are you able to login with email/password otherwise?
André J
@adam_butter I don't use google auth. I only have it for my corporate email, and I try to only use it for corporate stuff etc. But do let me know when normal email signup is working again. would love to try this!
Adam Butter
@sentry_co Totally understandable Andre! That’s why I added the email login. We’re currently using Supabase auth and I’m debugging the login issue
Adam Butter
@adam_butter Hi Andre, I checked the logs, it seems to have sent, could you check spam?
Fabian Ruiz
This looks great! Is it free to try out?
Adam Butter
@fabianruiz1 Hey Fabian, the tool is free to try out to find your competitors and get a basic overview. You can also check out FindMyCompetitors.com To get the entire detailed report, there’s a one time fee, hope this helps!
Kyrylo Silin
This tool seems incredibly useful for businesses. How comprehensive are the competitor reports, and how frequently is the data updated? Are there any industries or niches where Competitor Research excels? Congrats on the launch, Adam!
Adam Butter
@kyrylosilin Thanks Kyrylo! The reports include as much detail as we can possible get about SEO (keywords, banklinks, SERP and so on), pricing, product information but I'm always looking to add even more information so that the report is the best on the market :) In terms of particular niches, I would say right now it excels with SaaS and other online products but I'm actively working on making it better for ecommerce and apps. Hope this helps!
Katrina
I’ve been looking for something like this for quite a while! Glad it’s finally on the market! Good work!!
Adam Butter
@katrina_t My pleasure Katrina! Let me know if I can help you with anything product related :)
Zenda
Amazing! Search Traffic, Keyword Analysis, and Backlink Analysis are all what I need!
Adam Butter
@zenda1122 Thanks Zenda!
Manan Gupta
This looks fantastic! 🎉 Having all these insights in one place can be a game-changer. Can't wait to try it out and see the impact on our strategy. Are there any specific industries you specialize in or is it suitable for all sectors?
Adam Butter
@manan_gupta19 Thanks Manan! Right now I'd say it's best for SaaS/online products but we're rapidly adding new functionality that would make it better for apps/ecommerce and so on.
Tony Han
It's a pretty cool tool someone can use to get a nice all in one competitor analysis, esp for SEO purpose. You get to see what other competitors are focusing on and tap into details like CPC. Congrats on the launch @adam_butter!
Adam Butter
@tonyhanded Thanks very much Tony!
Felipe Lincoln
💡 Bright idea
Great product! I was able to find competitors within seconds, it was a smooth experience at the free trial: CTAs well placed, easy to sign up with google auth, I would have left the platform if it required me to create a password, quick to fetch all the relevant competitors. Well done! Now what negatively affected my experience: - Adding tags: I pressed enter to create a tag not to go to the next step, I wanted to add more tags. - After getting a list of all competitors I got the feeling of "what now?" The call to action to the next step wasn't easy to find, the button "Save competitors" is not very clear and I would expect this button to be placed after the list of competitors so the user dont have to scroll all the way back to the top to find it - The "Competitor Report" stage wasn't compelling enough for me to consider purchasing the report, I expected to see some results and what to expect if I unlocked the report This is my feedback, congrats on the launch!!
Adam Butter
@felipelincoln Thanks very much Felipe, excellent feedback and we'll take it onboard for sure :) If you're up for it, could I speak you further? I'm at adam@competitoresearch.com and would love to give you a tour of the product
Felipe Lincoln
@adam_butter sure, I would love it. I sent you an email

Brandon Pruner
This is a really cool product @adam_butter! I think the interface is smooth and the concept is great! I would've LOVED to have something like this when I was a residential building contractor. Good luck with this business, brother!
Adam Butter
@brandon_pruner Thanks very much for the kind words Brandon!
Jake Tital
How do you determine the price?
Adam Butter
@jaketital For the pricing analysis, we take your pricing information and compare it to your competitors. We use a combination of models to analyse your website and other sites to understand what the pricing structure is. We then couple this with reviews to understand how the pricing resonates with customers.

As a marketer focused on digital advertising, insights into competitor ad campaigns and strategies could inform my own advertising tactics.
