Launching something new is always hard and I'm happy for you.
I would look at: https://scottscheapflights.com/
They have a similar business model to your product, and I think they do a great job balancing free and paid.
Another great model for what you're doing is: https://www.instagram.com/chartrdaily/?hl=en
Personally, I think you guys are trying to upsell too early. I would hide the upsell more and focus more on converting subscribers and delivering more value up front.
We built a similar product:
Except it appears we do filtering very differently. Our system also suggests points to enter and leave a given asset based on the information.
It’s a pretty hard and crowded space. Feel free to look at some of my repos and blog posts, might shed some light on how to improve your system. Although your UI/UX is far superior
I'd love the subscribe. But most buttons don't work on your homepage!
Also, I'd love the check the pricing - but can't for the same reason.
$0/mo | Every month | 2 Exponential Trends

$479/mo | Every month | 10 Exponential Trends | 5 Exponential+ Trends | Before-It-Happens alerts | Get last 3 reports on signup | Insights for each trend | Add your team members
At first glance, the subscriptions seem to offer certain numbers of new trends. Is there a way to say that we're looking for new trends in some type of topic, vs whatever trends come up in your general scan? (feel free to tell me to read further if I've missed something)
Looks very cool - thanks!
I'd suggest a trial period before commitment - free plan doesn't seem to have enough included to make opinion about your product and decide which option to go with later.
2 weeks trial on each plan would be enough I believe.
Anyways, good luck to you!
I checked your site but didn't get if you can search those trends by keywords. My area is quite niche so going throught the list of topics can take quite a long time.
I'm out.
Why does it matter that the comment is directed at the founder? No sense in screaming at a customer service rep to change company vision/direction/policy.
SMS? Fax? PDF printed and sent via snail mail? Facebook Message? Randomly logging in to their website to check if a new report is out?
I always hear people complain about how many emails they get but I never understand it. I guess most people just passively give out their email address to everybody and are surprised when it gets out of hand. If you use apple mail the unsubscribe button is at the very top of every email.
I viciously unsubscribe to anything I don't want, and because of this, email is my preferred method of accessing content on the internet. No crazy JS, no pop up ads, no loading 50 different trackers, no social media viral outrage, just a self-curated stream of content I want.
The way it works is we first capture nearly every topic online, then we look at frequency of discussion, searches, shares, etc. around each topic. Beyond just the growth in frequency, our software looks for indicators that a trend is organic and has more room to grow, as it’s important that we surface trends not fads.
There are plenty of tools that help you dive deep on a new trend you’ve heard of, but the problem is you need to have already heard about the trend. This is what we’re solving for - exposure to the unknown unknowns.
As an example, SheIn is growing on Google Trends, but when you compare that to popularity on other sites like Reddit and Twitter, you realize that the large majority of search traffic is driven by people googling after they see an ad.
Surprisingly, nearly all our engineering energy goes into filtering out the noise. Even after this, there’s a good deal of manual work. We’ve found that most of our users don’t want to do this themselves through a tool - they want the insights packaged and delivered, and we think it’s important to provide high quality trends that aren’t biased by data.
While Glimpse started as a way for us to figure out which products we could build and sell online, we realized how helpful it is for founders, investors, product people and marketers to constantly see how consumer behavior, marketing, and products are evolving so they can better do their jobs.
Would love feedback!
