Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about GapRadar

What exactly does GapRadar do?

GapRadar analyzes competitor app reviews to find market opportunities. You give us an App Store or Google Play URL, we scrape the reviews, and our AI identifies what users are complaining about. Then we turn those complaints into actionable product ideas with scoring and validation.

How is this different from just reading reviews myself?

You could read reviews manually, but it would take hours or days to get through hundreds of them. GapRadar does it in about 60 seconds. Plus, we cluster similar complaints, score opportunities by demand and profitability, and give you product concepts and monetization strategies—not just a pile of random complaints.

What kind of apps can I analyze?

Anything on the App Store or Google Play. SaaS tools, productivity apps, fitness trackers, finance apps, games—if it has reviews, you can analyze it. The best results come from apps with lots of users and mediocre ratings (think 3-4 stars).

Is it really free to start?

Yes. You get 3 free analyses when you sign up. No credit card required. If you want more, upgrade to Pro for $14.99/month and get 40 analyses plus advanced features like the AI advisor.

What happens when I run out of analyses?

If you're on the free plan and use all 3, you'll need to upgrade to Pro. Pro users get 40 analyses per month, and they reset on your billing date. If you somehow run through all 40, reach out to us—we can work something out.

Can I cancel anytime?

Absolutely. Cancel whenever you want. You'll keep access through the end of your current billing period. If you cancel in the first 7 days and aren't happy, we'll refund you.

How accurate is the AI analysis?

We use Claude AI to analyze reviews, and it's pretty good at spotting patterns and clustering similar complaints. That said, it's not perfect. Use the opportunities as a starting point, not gospel. The real value is in the user quotes—those are straight from actual people.

How long does an analysis take?

Usually around 60 seconds, sometimes up to 2 minutes if the app has a ton of reviews. We scrape, analyze, and score everything in real-time.

Can I export the results?

Yes. All users can export to PDF. Pro users can also export to JSON if you want to process the data programmatically.

What if GapRadar doesn't find any good opportunities?

It happens. If an app has mostly happy users and no clear gaps, we'll tell you that. Not every competitor is worth analyzing. Try a different app in the same category, or one with a lower rating.

How do you score opportunities?

We look at how many people are complaining about the same thing (demand), how frustrated they seem (intensity), how realistic it is to build (feasibility), and how likely they are to pay for a solution (monetization potential). Each opportunity gets a score from 1-100.

Should I just copy the highest-scored opportunity?

Not necessarily. The score helps you prioritize, but you should also consider what you're good at building, how much time you have, and whether the opportunity aligns with your goals. A lower-scored niche opportunity might be perfect for you.

Is this only for developers?

No. It's useful for anyone looking to build or validate a product—founders, product managers, consultants, even non-technical people who plan to hire developers. If you're trying to figure out what to build or whether there's demand for an idea, GapRadar helps.

Can I use this for an existing product?

Yes. Analyze your competitors to see what features you should build next, or where you can differentiate. Lots of product managers use GapRadar for roadmap planning.

Is this legal?

Yes. We scrape publicly available reviews that anyone can read. We don't access private data or violate any terms of service.

What do you do with my data?

We store your analyses so you can come back to them later. We don't sell your data or use it for anything other than providing the service. Check out our privacy policy for details.
