Adduco
"Don't build another ad dashboard. Build one that doesn't crash, scam users, and shut down in 6 months."
"Promise of a unified dashboard for multiple ad accounts, hoping for better insights than native platforms."
The market is burned and suspicious. Rebuilding trust is the primary cost. Also, ad platform APIs are complex and change often, requiring significant maintenance.
The 4-Dimension Scorecard
$43k revenue proves demand for ad management tools, but product's death caps its potential.
Abysmal 3.47 rating with 55 furious reviews. Users were betrayed. Massive opportunity to win them with a stable, honest alternative.
Lifetime deal with 'unlimited' features led to a shutdown scam. The business model was a lie. Must avoid this trap.
No direct competitors listed, but native platforms (Facebook Ads Manager) are the real foe. Their complexity is the wedge.
The Opportunity Radar
Deep Review Mining & Gap Analysis
Pain & Gaps

"Reviews said insights were no better than native platforms, so the value prop failed."
Niche Discovery
"Review mentioned a 'Gov department' needing specific info but couldn't use FB Ads Manager directly."
Marketing Angle
The ethical ad dashboard. No scams. No shutdowns. Just stable connections and insights you can trust.
Use this angle to position your product against the generic competitors. Focus on the specific pain points identified in the "Pain & Gaps" module.
The "Buggy Clone" Syndrome
- Product was unstable, buggy, and the founders shut it down in a scam after 6 months, burning all trust.
Sniper Verdict
"Listen to the hate. Build the cure. Steal the revenue."
The Battle Plan
"Adduco proved demand but failed spectacularly on execution and ethics. The gap is not for more features, but for a rock-solid, transparent tool that focuses on reliable data connection and clear reporting."
MVP Build
- Bullet-proof API connections to major ad platforms (Why: the core promise that Adduco broke)
- A simple, honest metrics dashboard (Why: to rebuild trust with transparency)
MVP Drop
- Lifetime deals with unlimited everything (Why: unsustainable and attracted scammers)
- Overly complex 'Insights Canvas' (Why: Adduco's was vaporware; focus on basics first)
