It clusters recurring problems, scores each group from 0 to 100, and links every problem to the threads behind it. The first scan is free, and paid packs are a one-time purchase. ## What ideaFast does A scan reads recent posts from the communities that were picked, groups posts describing the same problem, and scores each group from 0 to 100 on how acute, frequent, and recent it is. Every problem links back to the original Reddit thread. The Pain Signal Score is that 0 to 100 rating. The Receipts Rule is that no pain point is shown without a link to the original post. Explorer is the free scan. Founder and Builder add more subreddits, more evidence quotes, and generated ideas. A deep 90-day scan costs two scans instead of one. ## Who ideaFast is for Explorer is for a first serious look. Founder is for founders shipping this month. Builder is for agencies and serial builders. IdeaFast is built and run by Shubham Bhatt, a solo founder. ## How ideaFast works Pick where customers hang out, or use broad mode to auto-find relevant subreddits.

An unused scan is still there next month and next year. ### What counts as one scan? One scan reads a community, clusters the recurring complaints, scores each cluster, and returns the evidence behind every one. A deep 90-day scan pulls more posts per subreddit and costs two scans instead of one. ### Is there a free tier? Yes. The first scan is free and does not need a card. Research for dozens of communities is already published on the site and readable without an account. ### Can an unused plan be refunded? An unused plan is fully refundable within 7 days of purchase. Once a scan from that purchase has been run, it is non-refundable. Genuine billing errors are fixed or refunded with no time limit. ### Where does the evidence come from? IdeaFast reads Reddit only. It does not scan GitHub, Stack Exchange, or Product Hunt, and it does not use private data or paid review databases. Every pain point links to the original public thread. --- Source: https://lots.directory/products/ideafast ยท Machine-readable context by LotsDirectory.
