How it works
01
Describe it
One plain sentence — who it is for and what it fixes. It is matched by meaning, so keywords are not needed.
02
See who has the problem
The complaints that match, counted by distinct person and source, each quoted with a link to the original post.
03
Decide
Demand, pain, momentum and competition, measured the same way as every published opportunity — plus a free written verdict.

Frequently asked
- How do I validate a startup idea?
- Before writing code, find out whether many different people independently complain about the exact problem, what they use today and why it fails them, and whether they mention paying. This tool does the finding and counting: describe the idea in one sentence and it returns the complaints that match it by meaning, counted by distinct author.
- Is the idea validator free?
- Yes. The match, the people and source counts, the quotes and the summary verdict are free and need no account. Only the full validation report (market, financials, roadmap) costs 150 credits.
- Where does the data come from?
- From 60.9k problem clusters extracted from public text: App Store and Google Play reviews, product and developer forums, and public discussion threads, in English and Vietnamese. Every quote carries its source, date and a link to the original post.
- How long does it take?
- The match against the existing corpus runs as soon as you submit. At the same time a fresh crawl looks for new public posts in your own words, which takes from a few minutes to about an hour. Leave your email if you would rather not wait; the result is mailed when it lands.
- How is this different from asking ChatGPT or an AI idea scorer?
- No model guesses a score for your idea. Every number is a count: how many posts, from how many different people, on how many sources, rising or falling. You can open every quote, read the original post, and draw your own conclusion.
