THE PROBLEM

Most products fail because
founders skip the hard part.

?
Complaints are everywhere. Insight is not.
Reddit threads are full of people moaning about software. That's not the same as knowing whether there's a paying market. The gap between those two things is where most products die.
Manual research is a time sink with no payoff.
Trawling G2 reviews, checking App Store ratings, scanning competitor sites by hand. Founders do this for every idea. Most of the time the answer is still just a gut feeling.
Research piles up. Nothing gets built.
You've got a Notion doc full of "opportunities" and no idea which one is worth six months of your life. Good research should tell you what to do next. Most of the time, it doesn't.
WHAT PAINMAP DOES

Pain point to build brief.
No faff in between.

Scores every pain point for actual opportunity
PainMap looks at willingness-to-pay signals, how often people mention the problem, and how competitive the market is. You get a score. You know what's worth pursuing.
Shows you exactly how well the market is covered
Every result gets a competition rating out of 10. A score of 3 means there's a real gap. That's where you want to be building, not fighting incumbents head-on.
Writes your MVP brief before you leave the page
Pick a pain point you like. PainMap drafts your one-liner pitch, core feature list, and landing page copy. Hand it to a developer or start building it yourself. Either way, you're not starting from a blank doc.

Reddit API dependency

GummySearch shut down in November 2025 after falling out with Reddit over API access. PainMap runs on AI and web search. No API deals to negotiate, no platform that can pull the rug.
