The 'fit score' idea is what gets me, knowing which platforms actually match your product instead of blindly submitting everywhere sounds like a huge time saver.
I'm about to launch my first iOS app and this is exactly the kind of tool I didn't know I needed.
Does it handle App Store-specific channels well, or is it more focused on web products and SaaS?
Love the idea of getting data-driven launch recommendations. Do you support non-SaaS products too?
@daniel_rachlin Thanks! Yes, many of the directories in the database are non-SaaS-friendly, and the system will process non-SaaS products without problems.
If anyone wonders about how the scoring works:
For each platform, we manually check if it's free, freemium, paid, or if it requires a backlink. Then for each platform, we collect information like estimated monthly visits, type of products being published there, online reviews, and similar. These data are then processed, and an estimate of the fit score, potential audience, etc., is made.
