I think a large part of it has to do with design... I have a similar product offering: https://hnprofile.com/compare?search=AWS,GCP%20|%20Google%20...

We offer to businesses, have a few pilots, but the slickness of Trennd is probably something we'll copy. It was clearly easy to see how the UI helped here - congratz on the sale too (if you're reading this).

It would be nice to let me leave the website using the back button (chrome android)

I don’t know why his site is not more successful. Once a user visits the site they can never leave.

Thanks for providing a link. Just comparing the two.. the backend might be the same but the slowness and non-obvious graphs makes you feel awful but the card based layout was fresh.

Both could be more engaging.

curious, have you tried product hunt or similar? it is looking to me that playing the online popularity game has become a key factor for succeeding. if something is popular on product hunt, it is more likely to succeed.

We haven't done that directly, we did push out our chat bot:
