What you need before you commit months

Niche validation research converges on the same jobs: confidence, accuracy, and a clear path from catalog noise to a buildable bet.

Confidence

Evidence before you build

Live ad spend is behavioral proof — strangers already paying to acquire users in that niche.

Accuracy

Regulator-mandated sources

Creatives come from Google and Meta transparency centers, not scraped guesses or stale panels.

Clarity

Signal over catalog noise

Filter five million apps down to ones that are advertising, monetizing, and still growing.

Free daily email

One app that's running ads — in your inbox every morning

Every morning, one app that's running ads right now — straight to your inbox. One email, one app, no fluff.

Free forever. We'll email a confirmation link first — no daily emails until you confirm. Unsubscribe in one click. We never share your email.

What the data shows you

Built on real, regulator-mandated ad transparency data and a multi-million-app catalog.

Working niches, not noise

Surface apps that pass every proof at once — running ads right now, monetizing via in-app purchases, and scaling in installs and reviews.

Real ad creatives

See the live Google and Meta ad creatives behind each app, pulled from the transparency centers — formats, run dates, and advertiser variants.

Whole-catalog search

Search, sort, and filter across over 5 million iOS and Android apps with exact counts and true global ordering — powered by a columnar data lake.

Sustained spend & velocity

Rank advertisers by how long they've run ads and which niches are heating up week over week, so you build where the money already is.

Traction over time

Growth baselines track install and rating momentum, separating apps that are actually scaling from ones that merely exist.

Zombie hunter

Find low-rated apps still buying lots of ads — proven demand with a weak incumbent you can out-build.

Three moves to a validated niche

  1. 01

    Pick a niche

    Start from Tools, Productivity, Photography, or Video — or explore the entire catalog.

  2. 02

    Filter to winners

    Layer on ads-running, IAP, min installs, and growth to isolate apps that are already working.

  3. 03

    Study the ads

    Open any app to inspect its live creatives and advertiser footprint, then build your version.
