VettedGaps
Paid demand, not upvotes

Find pains people already pay to fix.

Upvotes tell you a complaint is popular — not that anyone will pay to make it stop. We match every pain against real Fiverr orders, search demand and the competitors already selling a fix, and check your own idea the same way.

Built for indie developers exploring apps for marketplaces and Chrome extensions.

Two minutes on real data

One idea checked against the corpus, function by function: who complains, who already pays for the job, what people search for — and which parts have no evidence at all.

The evidence stack

A pain is a lead, not yet a market

Strong opportunities appear in more than one dataset. VettedGaps keeps each layer separate so you can see what is observed, what is paid for and what people actively search for.

01 · Pain

People describe the problem

Independent complaints are clustered into one recurring pain with source quotes you can inspect.

Browse pain cards →
02 · Payment

Buyers already pay for the task

Fiverr gig clusters reveal recurring paid jobs, starting prices, sellers and a conservative demand signal from buyer reviews.

Explore paid demand →
03 · Search

The task has active search intent

Google Keyword Planner adds monthly search volume and advertiser competition around the task-shaped queries extracted from each pain.

How to read a pain card

Four signals, one card

Every pain card distills a cluster of real complaints into a single scored signal. See the full methodology →

Pain score

One number (0–1): does this pain deserve someone's attention? Weighted product of four signals.

Learn more →
Monetization

Whether people voiced willingness to pay — the strongest signal that a pain is a market.

Learn more →
Cluster

How many separate complaints merged into one card. Bigger cluster = louder, more validated pain.

Learn more →
Evidence

Real user quotes the card is built from — each links back to its source thread.
