◈ the problem

You can't out-build a keyword nobody searches.

Most apps don't fail at the code. They fail at the premise — built on a hunch, for a niche with no rankable demand, against incumbents nobody checked. By the time the install graph flatlines, the quarter is already gone.

the vibe trap
Ideas picked on gut
"It felt like a good idea" is how most dead apps started. Demand is checkable in seconds — most people just don't.
the silent graveyard
Someone already died here
Nearly every niche has a graveyard of apps that tried and failed. Their reasons are public — if you go looking.
the sunk quarter
Three months, gone
The cost of a wrong bet isn't the build — it's the quarter you didn't spend on a winnable one.
◈ how it works

Three minutes, three steps.

01 · scan
Type an app idea
In ~20 seconds see whether people actually search for it — and who you'd be up against — on Google Play, the App Store, or both.
02 · read
Read the verdict
A two-axis call: real demand? beatable competition? Every score shows the evidence behind it — no AI vibes.
03 · decide
Get the deep report
The graveyard, your wedge, honest month-1 money math, and the incumbents' weak points. First one free.
◈ the model

Two questions decide everything.

Every keyword lands on two axes: is there real demand, and is the competition beatable? The best apps sit in one corner — real demand, weak incumbents. Veridemand tells you which corner your idea is in, and why.

demand ↑ · competition ↓
The best kind of keyword. Real pull, weak incumbents — go.
demand ↑ · competition ↑
A real fight. Winnable, but only with a sharper wedge.
demand ↓ · competition ↓
An empty field. You'd be creating demand, not capturing it.
demand ↓ · competition ↑
Locked up and quiet. The data says walk away.
◈ the deep report

The question a scan can't answer: should you build it?

One report, five answers — the difference between a hunch and a decision.

01
The graveyard
Every app that already tried this niche and died — and the specific reason each one failed. You learn from their funerals, not your own.
02
Your wedge
The exact gap the incumbents leave open, with an example title and positioning you could ship against.
03
Month-1 money math
An honest revenue range with the install assumptions spelled out — no hockey sticks, no vibes.
04
Incumbent autopsy
The top competitors' weak points, mined from their own 1-star reviews. Their angry users are your roadmap.
05
The verdict
BUILD, BENCH, or AVOID — with the sources behind the call, so you can argue with it.

◈ who it's for

For anyone who bets on the wrong idea and pays for it.

Indie founders
Before you commit a quarter
You get one bet at a time. Spend three minutes here before you spend three months coding the wrong thing.
Studios & agencies
Triage a pipeline of ideas
Rank ten client or internal concepts by real demand and beatable competition — before anyone writes a spec.
Product & growth
Kill ideas with evidence
Walk into the roadmap meeting with store demand, competitor data, and a defensible go/no-go — not opinions.
◈ why trust it

We built this gate for ourselves first.

We ship apps for a living — a live portfolio of 20. The ones that won sat on keywords people already searched; the ones that died had no rankable demand. Veridemand is the exact gate we run every new idea through — calibrated on our own store data — then opened up. It only ever reads public app-store data, and never surfaces developer personal information.

◈ questions

The honest answers.

Is this real data or an AI guess?
Real. Scans read live Google Play and App Store search results, autocomplete, install bands, ratings, and freshness. The deep report adds real Hacker News postmortems and the incumbents' actual 1-star reviews. The AI writes the analysis on top of evidence — it never invents the numbers.
Do I need to sign in to try it?
Yes — a free one-tap Google sign-in, no card. It takes a second and it's how your free daily scans, your first free deep report, and any credits stay tied to you across devices.
How is this different from an ASO keyword tool?
ASO tools hand you keyword volume and stop. Veridemand answers the decision on top of that data: is there real demand, is the competition beatable, and should you actually build it — with the graveyard, your wedge, and month-1 money math.
Google Play, the App Store, or both?
Any of them. Scan a keyword on Play, the App Store, or both at once — the verdict adapts to the store you're targeting.
What does it cost?
Free scans every day and your first deep report free. After that, credits from $10 — one-time, never expire. A scan is 1 credit, a deep report is 5.
Where does the data come from — and is any of it private?
Only public app-store listing data. We never touch or surface developer personal information — app data only, always.
