Describe your mobile app idea in one sentence and ValidKit analyzes thousands of real App Store reviews from your competitors and hands you a report on what users love, what to avoid, what they'll pay for, and where the gap is. No subscription, pay per report, use any time at your own pace.
Hey Product Hunt, I'm Bianca 👋
I wanted to build a tool for myself to be able to understand the market better before I start building mobile apps for iOS.
I wanted to know what real customers say about existing mobile apps that closely match what I want to build.
That's why I built ValidKit.
1. You can describe your mobile app idea in one sentence.
2. It finds your real competitors on the App Store
3. Pulls thousands of user reviews, and clusters them into a report that tells you
❤️ What users love
⚠️ What to avoid, the complaints that show up again and again
💸 What they'll pay for, pricing frustration and payment tolerance across the niche
🎯 Where the opportunity is, the gaps competitors leave open
Pricing is simple: pay once per report, starting at $5.99. No subscription, credits never expire, you can use them at your own pace.
There are free sample reports on the site, you can open any of them to see exactly what you get before deciding to pay for your own report.
Thanks for taking the time to read this! Happy to answer any questions!
Ran a report on a fitness app niche and the breakdown of what users actually complain about was spot on, saved me from a few obvious mistakes. Love the pay per report model too, way less pressure than another monthly subscription.
What I like here is that you're trying to reduce validation to evidence instead of opinions.
One question I kept thinking about: how do you stop founders from overfitting to what existing App Store reviews already reward?
Sometimes the products that create new categories initially look "invalid" through competitor data because there isn't enough comparable evidence yet. Curious how you think about balancing market evidence with genuinely novel ideas.
How recent are the reviews you pull, and can I narrow it down to just the last 3 months for a specific competitor?
The pay-per-report model instead of another subscription is such a smart move for indie builders like me, makes it way less intimidating to actually try. Love that the insights come from real reviews rather than guesswork.
How recent are the reviews it pulls, and does it let you filter by region or time frame before running the report?
