SocialBook Builder
"Don't build another bloated YouTube analytics suite—build a dead-simple competitor tracker that actually works."
"Desperate need to spy on competitors and steal keywords for YouTube growth."
YouTube API costs can bleed a lifetime deal dry. Must implement strict usage limits and consider hybrid subscription model.
The 4-Dimension Scorecard
$37.8k revenue shows demand, but low review count indicates weak adoption.
Abysmal 3.81 rating with 64 angry reviews = easy prey for a better product.
Credit-based model for competitor analytics may help control YouTube API costs, but lifetime deal in a data-heavy niche is risky.
TubeBuddy & vidIQ are strong, but their complexity and pricing tiers leave room for a focused, transparent alternative.

Deep Review Mining & Gap Analysis
Pain & Gaps
"Users furious about needing credits after purchase."

"Website app described as 'trash' compared to extension."
Niche Discovery
"All features and complaints center around YouTube channel growth and competitor analysis."
Marketing Angle
The YouTube competitor tracker that doesn't charge extra for the data you already paid for.
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
- Bait-and-switch pricing (credits for core features), broken Chrome extension, and non-existent support.
Sniper Verdict
"Listen to the hate. Build the cure. Steal the revenue."
The Battle Plan
"SocialBook proves demand for YouTube competitor tracking, but its broken execution and predatory credit system have alienated users. Build a lean, reliable alternative that delivers core analytics without hidden fees."
MVP Build
- 1-3 competitor channel tracking (no credits, just clear limits)
- Basic keyword/tag extraction from top videos (fast, accurate)
MVP Drop
- Complex keyword research plugins (buggy, high support cost)
- Credit-based pricing model (transparent tiered limits instead)
