Competitor weakness map

  • Billo: Marketplace model - no agency management tools. 5,000 creators but you're renting their network, not building yours
  • Resume.io ($24.95/4 weeks): Dark pattern pricing. Trial trap. Users feel scammed. High Trustpilot complaints.
  • Pramp: Peer-to-peer matching - unreliable partners, scheduling friction, limited to coding interviews. No AI feedback.
  • LinkedIn (900M+ members): The platform IS the problem. Toxic positivity, performative vulnerability, engagement-bait, humble-brags. Users hate it but need it.

Next step to monetize

  • Pick one idea with recurring weekly pain and clear spending signals.
  • Validate offer messaging with a waitlist page before full build.
  • Convert free subscribers into paid users once they need full workflows.
