Hi Ahmed, a great piece of software! I really like the UI and the analysis. I am really surprised how fast the results are shown. Maybe you can create more overview by collapsing those long paragraphs per default. It is also really handy that you add google search volume. May I ask which API you are using here?
I ran 4 prompts and got almost always the score around 74, which is guess should have more range. Also I miss a section of risk or cons.
Hi Watta, awesome you're loving the software! Thanks for the suggestions.
About keyword metrics, the free plan uses Gemini AI, which isn't super accurate but gives you a decent overview. Paid plans use DataForSEO for much more accurate and reliable data.
This is a really cool idea. I ran into a couple of errors in the sign up process, and the reporting graph css could use a bit of tweaking due to readability. Other than those two minor issues I love the stie, the comprehensive report and think this is a really valuable tool! With a bit of polishing this could be a tool I use regularly!
Hi Jake, thanks for the feedback. Sorry about those issues, I'll get them fixed asap. Glad you're loving the software!
Hi Ahmed, thanks for making the tool available to try out! I think that was a really smart move to get user feedback :-)
Your report is very comprehensive but I am not super clear on what the scores mean - what does a total score of 71% mean? That the business has a 71% change of working? The report information is also quite a lot to digest - maybe a summary with recommendations to improve the idea would also be useful.
I tried out buildpad.io a while back and they include idea validation as part of their free trial. I think your once-off payment is a good differentiator but I think something that could help you convert more is to really look at what your idea validation experience is doing better than theirs (and others in this space) and to communicate that clearly.
That sounds like a great pitch for a validation or market research tool! Are you working on a startup or a new ? I can help refine the messaging if you’d like. 😊
How about the privacy of the information on the ideas I enter on your platform? Is there any NDA, or how can we be confident that you won't use our ideas?
Of course! Privacy is very important and user ideas are protected. NDA included in Terms of Service.
After hearing your feedback, I've decided to grant all early users free&full access to the platform. I'm excited to gather further feedback and suggestions to improve RateMyBizIdea 🚀
It's a great idea and this product I'm going to give it a try thanks for sharing
Thank you Jesse. I would greatly appreciate your feedback on the platform after you've had a chance to use it
Hi Ahmed!
I love what you’re building and took the liberty of doing a mini-audit of your site :-) Would you be interested in a few quick high-impact improvements that could boost conversions and user engagement?
Here is a quick video of my audit: https://www.loom.com/share/ce1a630abbf74f69a8f4a207c03b8f65?sid=369610df-41eb-4314-bb3d-0f41f1f49072
I hope this helps and would be happy to chat further!
Kind regards,

Nice idea! Was wondering if there's a (lite) way to test it out before signing up. Messaging is a little confusing, saying 'No subscription needed' and hitting a paywall before actually being able to test it out.
Hey @mrbiglebowski,
Thanks for your interest!
If you’d like to see it in action, we’ve just added two report examples on the landingpage so you can explore before signing up.
There’s no subscription, just a one-time payment for lifetime access, which we believe is a better deal than paying monthly or yearly.
Also, the basic plan is designed to be an affordable way to try it out and is currently 40% off for launch.
Let me know if you have any other feedback!
Why would users trust RateMyBusinessIdea's effectiveness if there is no free trial? The confidence level of the report example is very low
