Frequently Asked Questions

Customer conversations are essential—but on their own, they're slow and easy to misread. IndieSearch runs market research, competitor analysis, and demand signals in parallel, then generates interview scripts so your conversations actually prove something. Quick validation meets solid user interviews.

After research completes, validation adds Trend Analysis and Community Analysis—real sentiment from Reddit, Twitter, and forums. Your confidence score combines market signals, competitor density, community demand, and growth trends, all benchmarked against successful indie products.

Yes—validate several ideas simultaneously, or run A/B tests on different variations of the same idea. Test different value propositions, pricing, and positioning in parallel. Why wait weeks testing one idea at a time when you can compare signals across multiple concepts at once?

ChatGPT gives opinions. IndieSearch gives data. We analyze real market signals, benchmark against actual SaaS metrics, and provide A/B testing infrastructure that generic AI can't offer. You get structured validation methodology, not just generated text.

We don't predict success—no one can. What we do is identify red flags, size markets, analyze competitor density, and surface demand signals that would take you weeks to gather manually. Think 'informed confidence' rather than 'prediction.'

We're currently in private beta building our first cohort of success stories. Early users have already used negative validation results to pivot away from ideas that would have wasted months of development time—sometimes that's the biggest win.

We analyze search trends, community discussions, competitor positioning, and market signals from multiple sources. Market data is refreshed continuously so you're making decisions on current conditions, not stale information.

Never. Your ideas remain completely private. We don't share them with other users, don't use them to train AI models, and will delete them upon request. Your competitive advantage stays yours.

Only you. All validation data remains private by default. Any sharing features are strictly opt-in. When you delete your account, your data goes with it—no exceptions.

The average indie hacker spends $2,000+ and 200+ hours on failed ideas. $9 to discover a fatal flaw before you build? That's not an expense—it's insurance against wasting months on something nobody wants.

Your first validation is completely free with full access to market analysis, competitor research, and demand signals. After that, each idea costs $9—unlocking A/B landing page tests and the ability to validate multiple ideas simultaneously.

Yes. If your validation doesn't give you a clear direction within 14 days, we'll refund you—no questions asked. We only succeed when you get the clarity you need.

Deploy your validation test in under 1 hour. Initial market insights arrive quickly, and your complete validation confidence score includes actionable next steps so you know exactly what to do.

IndieSearch generates validation-optimized landing pages automatically—designed to test demand, not win design awards. Already have a landing page? We can analyze that too. Either way, you're testing within the hour.

Just your idea description and who you think would pay for it. That's it. Our guided questions help you clarify your thinking as you go—imperfect inputs are totally fine. Start messy, get clarity.

We use Lean Canvas for business modeling, Value Proposition Canvas for jobs-pains-gains mapping, TAM/SAM/SOM for market sizing, and structured competitor analysis. These proven frameworks have been used by successful founders for decades—we just make them faster.

We don't just give you a score and disappear. Positive validation? Here's your build roadmap. Negative validation? Here's how to pivot or what to test next. Uncertain results? Here's exactly what additional data to gather. We're your partner through the entire early-stage journey.
