ViralStat
"Don't build another analytics dashboardâbuild a zombie SaaS killer that actually updates."
"Fear of missing viral trends + need to reverse-engineer competitor video success across YouTube/FB/Instagram."
Social platform APIs change constantlyâmaintenance overhead is real. Must charge subscription, not lifetime, to fund ongoing updates.
The 4-Dimension Scorecard
$140k+ revenue proves strong demand for cross-platform video analytics, but all revenue is from 2018-2019 dealsâno recent validation.
4.93 rating is meaninglessâproduct is abandoned since 2020, logins broken, maintenance mode. High churn risk = massive opportunity.
No unlimited AI/storage traps. Static analytics tool with predictable costs. Lifetime deal model killed original business.
Competitors like VIDIQ mentioned but abandoned product creates vacuum. Users desperate for working alternative.
The Opportunity Radar
Deep Review Mining & Gap Analysis
Pain & Gaps
"Users want to pipe data into reportz.io and salesflare.comâcurrently manual export only."
"Analysts need on-the-go trend monitoring while competitors post in real-time."
Niche Discovery
"Multiple reviews mention 'clients', 'campaigns', and tracking competitor videos for clients"
"Users mention 'making decisions about what content to produce' and 'channel allocation'"
Marketing Angle
The only cross-platform video analytics tool that actually works in 2024âwe update weekly while others abandon you.
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 is literally deadâno updates since 2020, broken login, maintenance mode. Users feel scammed.
Sniper Verdict
"Listen to the hate. Build the cure. Steal the revenue."
The Battle Plan
"ViralStat proved $140k demand for cross-platform video analytics but died from neglect. The market gap is a maintained, reliable alternative that doesn't abandon users. Current users are trapped with broken logins and 5-year-old data."
MVP Build
- YouTube/FB/Instagram basic analytics (proven demand)
- Working login & dashboard (low barâbeat broken product)
- CSV export + 1 Zapier integration (most requested feature)
- Weekly platform API updates (marketing hook)
MVP Drop
- 500 tracking slots (start with 50âreduce server costs)
- Email alerts (distractionâfocus on dashboard first)
- Folder organization (nice-to-have, not core)
