I built a free eCommerce toolkit (not just calculators) — would love your feedback

🚀 I built VendLens to stop guessing in eCommerce

Hey Indie Hackers 👋

I’ve been in eCommerce long enough to realize one painful truth:

Most people don’t actually know if they’re making money.

They guess.

They ignore hidden costs.
They copy competitors blindly.
They test products without real data.

So I built VendLens — not just another calculator, but a full toolkit to understand your business before you scale it.

🔍 What VendLens actually does

Instead of using 5–10 different tools, VendLens brings everything into one place:

• AI Store Analyzer
Paste any Shopify store → get a full breakdown + opportunity score + actionable insights

• Profit & Cost Calculators
Real profit (not fake revenue): ads, shipping, fees, breakeven, ROI

• Product & Competitor Research
Find winning products + analyze competitors’ strategies

• Watchlists & Tracking
Track stores/products over time with updates & alerts

• Side-by-side Comparisons
Compare stores to understand what’s actually working

• Shareable Reports
Export insights (great for teams or clients)

⚡ What makes it different?

Most tools give you data.

VendLens tries to give you decisions.

→ Not “here are numbers”
→ But “this is what you should do next”

🛠️ Built fast, shipped faster

I started building in April 2026, and shipped multiple updates in days:

• Marketplace + calculators

• Watchlists + reports

• Analytics dashboard + API

• Help center + Amazon FBA calculator

Still improving daily based on feedback.

🎯 My goal

Help founders stop wasting money on bad products.

Simple as that.

🙏 I need your feedback

I’m still early.

So I’d love honest feedback:

• What’s missing?
• What would make this 10x better?
• Would you actually use something like this?

If you’ve ever lost money testing products…
this might hit close 😅

Thanks 🙏
