How it works

What you get in 30 seconds

Live data from Chrome Web Store, Play Store, App Store, and Google Ads, every time.

STEP 01

Competitor scan

Live scrape of Chrome Web Store, Play Store, App Store, and SaaS competitors. See who already owns the niche before you write a line of code.

STEP 02

Search volume

Real Google Ads keyword volume, not estimates. Including CPC, so you see whether anyone is already buying traffic for this niche.

STEP 03

Buildability score

An LLM-graded complexity estimate so you don't underprice the build. Easy, Medium, or Hard, with the reasons spelled out.

STEP 04

GO / MAYBE / NO-GO

One clear verdict, with the math behind it: market opportunity, competitive landscape, demand, and buildability, all weighted.

FAQ

Common questions

Quick answers. Reach support@nichecheck.com for anything else.

How accurate is the score?

The score is directional, not a guarantee. We combine competitor saturation, demand signals (search volume and CPC), monetization signals, and buildability to estimate potential. Our goal is not false certainty. It's fast idea filtering, so you don't waste weeks on dead ends. See 30 example verdicts to gauge our standards.

Do I need to sign up?

No. Your first 2 checks per day are free without an account. Sign up only if you want to save validation history, export results, or upgrade to unlimited.

Where do competitor counts come from?

Live scraping of the Chrome Web Store, Google Play Store, Apple App Store, and a SaaS competitor pass. We combine the four signals into a single saturation score and apply hard caps when one player dominates the niche.

Can I export results?

CSV and JSON export are available on the Pack and Pro tiers. Free tier sees verdicts on-screen but no export.

Is this only for Chrome extensions?

Chrome extensions are our sharpest specialty (we have the deepest CWS data), but the scorer also handles general SaaS, mobile app, and product ideas. Multi-platform competitor data covers all four surfaces every time.
