Frequently asked questions
How does IdeaScore work?
IdeaScore uses advanced AI with real-time web search to research your idea. It analyzes competitors, market demand, monetization potential, and more — then produces a scored report with actionable insights.
Is the analysis based on real data?
Yes. The AI performs live web searches during each analysis, pulling current data from app stores, forums, news, and market reports. Every score includes a confidence indicator so you know what is data-backed vs estimated.
How long does an analysis take?
Typically 30-90 seconds. You can watch the AI research in real-time as it searches for competitors, demand signals, and market data.
Can I analyze both app ideas and business ideas?
Yes. IdeaScore supports two analysis modes: App Ideas (with platform-specific insights for iOS, Android, and Web) and Business Ideas (with revenue potential and execution complexity scoring).
How is IdeaScore different from other idea validators?
IdeaScore gives you a transparent 0-100 score across 6 weighted categories — not just qualitative feedback. Each category includes a confidence rating so you know when the AI is working from real data vs estimation. You can also compare multiple ideas side-by-side and track how scores change over time with version history.
What's included in the free plan?
The free plan includes 3 lifetime analyses with full scoring across all 6 categories, green/red flags, market sizing, and next steps. Need more? Buy credits ($2-3 each) or upgrade to Pro for 50/month plus history, name suggestions, and comparisons.
Can I compare multiple ideas?
Yes! Pro users can compare 2 ideas side-by-side, and Pro+ users can compare up to 4 ideas with a radar chart overlay and detailed score comparison table.
Is my data private?
Absolutely. Your ideas are private by default. They are never shared with other users or used to train AI models. Only you can see your analyses.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes. All plans are month-to-month (or annual) with no lock-in. Cancel anytime from your settings page and you'll retain access until the end of your billing period.
