Show HN: I made a tool that automates competitor research for startups/hackers

Competitor Research offers a comprehensive tool to analyze competitors, helping businesses understand their market position and make informed decisions. The platform allows users to identify direct, indirect, substitute, and potential competitors, providing detailed reports on various aspects such as search traffic, keywords, backlinks, pricing strategies, website performance, and customer reviews. By leveraging this information, businesses can enhance their marketing strategies, product offerings, and overall competitiveness. The tool stands out by saving time through automated processes and offering a one-time fee for lifetime access, unlike recurring subscriptions common in similar services. Testimonials from users highlight the tool's effectiveness in improving website performance, discovering new competitors, and providing actionable insights for business growth. Competitor Research caters to online businesses primarily but also extends support to traditional businesses aiming to understand their online competition. The platform ensures data accuracy by utilizing multiple proprietary sources and manual verification processes, distinguishing it from competitors relying solely on AI algorithms.

That looks like a useful tool. Identifying actual competitors is not as easy as it sounds, especially when one wants to start a new business. As far as I'm concerned I launched several SaaS businesses and everytime I've only been able to have a clear view of the competition after at least 6 months...

And then once entrepreneurs find their competitors on your platform, they can track them on social media thanks to my platform: https://kwatch.io :)

Good luck with the launch!

Hey everyone, I used to spend 10s if not 100s of hours researching competitors, trying to make sure I know all of them and then figuring out what products they have, pricing, marketing and so on.

I spoke to a bunch of people and realised that I wasn't alone. Part of it is wanting to get ideas for features but it's also wanting to know how to grow the business.

I've noticed I tend to watch movies based on how feel so I tried to mimic this behavior with Mood2Movie.

I tried to mimic the research flow I use and built tools to run these reports so everyone has access to them and can save a lot of time.

If you're also spending a lot of time researching or maybe you haven't done enough competitor research, give us a try, and hopefully you'll get a lot of insights!

Hope you enjoy using it!

Good luck with the launch! I wonder why the company I input comes up in the list of competitors :-)
