How it works in detail
From analysis to ads, every step has a clear purpose.
Your market, your description, your target audience, known competitors (optional). The more context you give, the more precise the analysis.
Reddit, Facebook, Amazon, Quora, all scanned to find real discussions about your idea — not guesses, proof.
Pain points identified, competitive analysis (who your competitors are, their strengths, their weaknesses), positioning opportunities.
A clear validation score based on real collected data. If the market is there, you move forward with confidence. If not, you save months of wasted work.
Based on what your real future customers actually say — age, frustrations, objections, buying triggers. No more made-up personas.
We identify who they are, their strengths, and especially their gaps — so you know exactly where to position yourself.
Generated from the real pain points identified in the analysis — not a generic template everyone else uses.
5 ad variations based on real collected data, for Facebook, Google and TikTok — no more blind testing.
An AI expert who knows your project and answers your questions anytime — like a business copilot always available.

NEED TO KNOW MORE
Everything you need to know before you start.
Good question. You can ask Claude to "find Reddit pain points" — but it can't access Reddit in real time. It will generate plausible-sounding answers based on its training data. PainScout actually analyzes real Reddit conversations extracted live via the API. These are real people talking about your real market today — not AI-generated approximations.
PainScout automatically analyzes millions of Reddit conversations to identify the real problems, frustrations and needs of your future customers. You receive a complete strategic report with pain points, competitive analysis and a persona sheet — in minutes.
Reddit is unique: people speak freely there, without knowing a brand is watching. These are authentic, unfiltered opinions. It's the difference between what people say in a survey and what they really think.
Between 2 and 4 minutes. You fill in the form, we launch the analysis, and your complete report is ready before your coffee gets cold.
Yes. We analyze dozens of real Reddit posts and comments, extract recurring patterns and group them into thematic clusters. Each insight comes with direct consumer quotes — you see exactly where the information comes from.
PainScout is made for e-commerce sellers who want to validate a product before sourcing it, SaaS founders who want to find their ICP, and infoproduct creators who want to understand their audience's real needs.
Google Trends tells you what people search for, not why. A survey gives you biased answers. Reddit gives you real unfiltered conversations — frustrations, comparisons, reasons to buy and not to buy.
Yes. Your first report is 100% free, no credit card required. You see the quality of the analysis before deciding whether to go Pro.
The Pro plan at €15/month gives you unlimited analyses, access to competitive analysis, persona sheet generation, and complete history of all your projects with PDF download.
Yes, no commitment and no fees. You cancel with one click from your account, and you won't be charged the following month.
Yes. Your projects and reports are stored securely and are never shared. Only you have access to them.
