ValidateMySaaS Platform Help
ValidateMySaaS (validatemysaas.com) is an async, SaaS-only AI idea validator whose distinctive
job in the validator market is competitor intelligence. You describe your SaaS idea in three text
snippets — elevator pitch, target audience, and the problem you're solving — and instead of an
instant score it runs research and returns a Competitor Landscape Report in ~2 hours (allow up
to 24h). The report's centre of gravity is the competitor teardown: who you're up against, a
feature-by-feature comparison, pricing tables, aggregated review summaries (G2 / Trustpilot),
Product Hunt performance metrics, and SEO-term research — with AI advisor feedback on
viability as a secondary layer. It is deliberately narrow: SaaS-only (it won't help with hardware or
non-software products), and it doesn't do TAM/SAM/SOM market sizing, financial modeling, or customer
discovery. The competitor map is genuinely useful for positioning — but every figure is an AI/scraped
estimate, and the report is an AI opinion, not proof anyone will pay.
Step 1 — Gather context
If references/learnings.md exists, read it first for accumulated platform knowledge.
Ask only what you can't infer:
What do you want from ValidateMySaaS?
A) Run / interpret a Competitor Landscape Report — the competitor set, feature/pricing tables, reviews
B) Use the SEO-term research for go-to-market / positioning
C) Understand the pricing — the Turbo vs Pro reports vs the one-time report
D) A report hasn't arrived yet, or you're unsure about the async timing
E) Export / automate the report (API reality)
Is your idea actually a SaaS? ValidateMySaaS rejects non-software/hardware ideas — if it's a
physical product, marketplace, or content play, it's the wrong tool; route to /sales-idea-validation.
What's the real question — "who are my competitors?" or "should I build this?" ValidateMySaaS
answers the first well; the go/no-go belongs to a real behaviour test, routed in Step 2.
Skip-ahead: if the user wants the validate-before-building method or to rank validators across the
market, route to immediately.
/sales-idea-validation
Step 2 — Route or answer directly
If the user's question is about…
Route to
The validate-before-building method, or the go/no-go decision itself
/sales-idea-validation {question}
Comparing ValidateMySaaS against other validators (WorthBuild, IdeaProof, MiskMap, DimeADozen…)
/sales-idea-validation {question}
Market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM), financials, or a fundable plan (ValidateMySaaS does none of these)
/sales-idea-validation {question}
Building the smoke-test / fake-door landing page the real demand test runs on
/sales-funnel {question}
Growing a pre-launch waitlist / capturing real demand
/sales-audience-growth {question}
Acting on the SEO terms — an actual SEO / content program
/sales-seo {question}
When routing, give the exact command: "This is a {domain} question — run: /sales-idea-validation {original question}"
Otherwise, answer ValidateMySaaS-specific questions using Step 3.
Step 3 — ValidateMySaaS platform reference
Read references/platform-guide.md for the full reference — how the async report pipeline works,
exactly what the Competitor Landscape Report contains (competitor set, feature/pricing tables, G2/Trustpilot
review summaries, Product Hunt metrics, SEO terms, AI advisor feedback), the report tiers and best-effort
pricing, the SaaS-only scope limits, the no-public-API automation reality, and how it compares to the rest
of the validator cluster.
Answer using only the relevant section — don't dump the full reference.
Step 4 — Actionable guidance
Frame ValidateMySaaS as "the competitor-intelligence validator," not a demand test. Its edge over
score-first validators is the depth of the competitor teardown — feature matrix, pricing tables,
aggregated G2/Trustpilot reviews, Product Hunt metrics, and SEO terms. That's real positioning value.
But a thorough competitor map is not demand: the go/no-go still belongs to a real behaviour test (a
smoke-test landing page, a waitlist signup, a pre-sale), routed to /sales-idea-validation and /sales-funnel.
Treat every number in the report as an AI/scraped estimate — verify before quoting. Competitor
pricing, feature claims, review sentiment, Product Hunt figures, and SEO volumes are model- or
scrape-derived. Keep the structure (who the competitors are, where the gaps are, positioning angles)
and spot-check each figure against the competitor's own site before you rely on it.
Set expectations on the async timing up front: it is NOT instant. The report is generated in the
background — typically ~2 hours, but tell the user to allow up to 24 hours before worrying, and
that there's no live progress bar. If it's overdue past a day, contact support rather than re-submitting.
Confirm the idea is a SaaS before recommending it, and name the scope gaps. ValidateMySaaS is
SaaS-only and explicitly does no market sizing (TAM/SAM/SOM), no financial modeling, and no
customer discovery — if the user needs any of those, or has a non-software idea, say so plainly and
route the sizing/method to /sales-idea-validation.
Present all pricing as best-effort and point to validatemysaas.com/pricing. State the model:
report-based — a Turbo report and a fuller Pro report (monthly plans) plus a one-time
single report — and that there is no free tier (you commit money to try it). Flag every figure as
best-effort and confirm on the live pricing page.
There's no public API — don't plan an integration around it. If asked to export or automate, say
plainly there's no documented public API, no webhooks, no Zapier/Make, no MCP — it's a UI web app;
the report is read/exported from the browser. To script the underlying signal, pull competitor data
yourself (each competitor's site/pricing, the G2/Trustpilot pages, the Product Hunt API, a keyword-volume
API) rather than expecting a ValidateMySaaS endpoint.
If you discover a gotcha or tip not in references/learnings.md, append it there with today's date.
Gotchas
Best-effort from research (2026-07) — ValidateMySaaS is a young, niche indie tool with thin third-party
review coverage; verify pricing, report tiers, async timing, and report depth at validatemysaas.com.
The report is an AI opinion, not demand. A deep competitor map and an AI advisor's "looks viable"
are a directional gut check — not proof strangers will pay. Take the go/no-go from a real behaviour test.
It's async, not instant. Reports take ~2 hours (allow up to 24h) with no live progress — set
expectations and don't re-submit a duplicate while one is processing.
SaaS-only. It rejects hardware and non-software ideas; a marketplace/physical/content idea is the
wrong fit — route the method to /sales-idea-validation.
No market sizing, financials, or customer discovery. Reviewers' main complaint: great competitor
intel, but no TAM/SAM/SOM, revenue potential, or industry-growth data. Get those elsewhere.
Numbers are estimates. Competitor pricing/features, review sentiment, Product Hunt metrics, and SEO
volumes are AI/scraped — spot-check against primary sources before quoting them.
No free tier and no public API. You pay (~$19+) to run a report, and there's no webhook/Zapier/MCP —
it's a UI web app; export from the browser or reconstruct the signal from source.

Examples
Example 1: "ValidateMySaaS mapped my competitors — am I good to build?"
User says: "ValidateMySaaS gave me a full competitor report and the AI advisor said my idea looks viable. Should I start building?"
Skill does: Credits the competitor teardown (feature matrix, pricing tables, G2/Trustpilot reviews,
Product Hunt metrics, SEO terms) as ValidateMySaaS's real edge and a genuine positioning aid — but reframes
the advisor's "viable" and every figure as an AI/scraped estimate, not demand. Keeps the structured
parts to sharpen positioning, has the user spot-check competitor pricing/features against primary sources,
and prescribes the real test — a smoke-test landing page with a pre-set conversion threshold, then a
pre-sale — routing the build to /sales-funnel and the decision back to /sales-idea-validation.
Result: The founder uses the competitor map to position, and takes the go/no-go from stranger behaviour.
Example 2: "My report still isn't here / how much does it cost?"
User says: "I submitted my idea an hour ago and there's no report yet — and is there a free option?"
Skill does: Explains the pipeline is async — typically ~2 hours, allow up to 24h, with no
live progress bar, so an hour in is normal and re-submitting just duplicates. On pricing, states the model
(best-effort): report-based — a Turbo and a fuller Pro report on monthly plans plus a one-time
single report, and no free tier, so trying it costs ~$19+. Points to validatemysaas.com/pricing to
confirm and flags all figures as best-effort.
Result: The user waits out the async window instead of double-submitting, and knows the paid-only pricing.
Example 3: Can I pull the ValidateMySaaS report into my own tool via an API? (developer/automation)
User says: "I want to auto-export ValidateMySaaS's competitor data into a Google Sheet via API."
Skill does: States plainly there's no documented public API, no webhooks, no Zapier/Make, no MCP —
ValidateMySaaS is a UI web app whose report is read/exported from the browser, so there's no supported
programmatic export. Suggests reconstructing the underlying signal yourself instead: scrape each
competitor's own pricing/features, pull review data from the G2/Trustpilot pages, use the Product Hunt
API for launch metrics, and a keyword-volume API for the SEO terms — automating the real competitor data
rather than a ValidateMySaaS endpoint.
Result: The user avoids building on a non-existent API and gets a workable path to the same data.
Troubleshooting
The AI advisor said it's viable and the competitors look weak — is it validated?
Symptom: A thorough competitor report plus an encouraging AI advisor read, and the founder wants to build.
Cause: The advisor verdict is an LLM opinion and the competitor data is AI-/scrape-derived — a
tidy map of weak competitors is interest-adjacent, not willingness to pay.
Solution: Keep the structured outputs (competitor set, feature gaps, pricing, positioning) to sharpen
the pitch and verify a sample of figures against primary sources, then earn a real verdict: a smoke-test
landing page to a pre-set threshold and a pre-sale — routed to /sales-funnel and /sales-idea-validation.
The report hasn't arrived / feels stuck
Symptom: No report a short while after submitting, and no visible progress.
Cause: Generation is asynchronous (background research), typically ~2 hours; there's no live status.
Solution: Wait — allow up to 24 hours before worrying, and don't re-submit (it just duplicates). If
it's overdue past a day, contact ValidateMySaaS support rather than paying for another run.
The report has no market size / revenue numbers
Symptom: Great competitor intel but nothing on TAM/SAM/SOM, revenue potential, or industry growth.
Cause: ValidateMySaaS is competitor-intelligence-first by design — it deliberately omits market
sizing, financial modeling, and customer discovery.
Solution: Use ValidateMySaaS for the competitor/positioning layer, and get sizing and the
validate-before-building method from /sales-idea-validation (and a real demand test for the actual go/no-go).
