Question 1

ChatGPT can do competitor research too. Why pay?

Accepted Answer

ChatGPT's data comes from its training set — no real-time MRR or traffic data. It tells you "the big incumbents in this category" but won't tell you about SaasNiche that launched 3 months ago with $494 MRR and 800 users. Probedex's database refreshes weekly with real traffic, keyword, and revenue data across 118,000+ domains.

Question 2

Will my competitors actually be in your data — even in a niche category?

Accepted Answer

We track 118,000+ SaaS domains and 500,000+ keywords, refreshed weekly — from category leaders down to tools that launched last quarter. Niche players are often where we shine, since that's exactly the data ChatGPT and big SEO suites miss. Don't see a domain? Run a free snapshot on any URL — if it's a live SaaS site, we pull its traffic, keywords, and growth signals on demand.

Question 3

What exactly do I get in a Growth Teardown report?

Accepted Answer

One competitor, fully reverse-engineered: where their traffic comes from, which keywords and pages carry it, what they spend on ads, who's promoting them — pulled from SimilarWeb, SEMrush, Ahrefs, Google, YouTube, Reddit & Product Hunt. AI analyzes it all like a growth operator, then our analysts verify every insight before handing you an ROI-ranked action plan: the specific moves to copy, in priority order. Not raw dashboards — a vetted playbook you can act on this week.

Question 4

Who reviews the reports? Is it a real person?

Accepted Answer

Every Growth Teardown is reviewed by our in-house analyst team — not an automated filter. They verify the AI-generated insights against source data, flag anomalies, and ensure every action item is realistic and prioritized correctly before the report reaches you.

Question 5

Why do some reports arrive faster than others?

Accepted Answer

Three factors: (1) If the domain was recently analyzed and reviewed, you can unlock it instantly — you benefit from an existing vetted analysis. (2) First-time domains go through the full pipeline: data collection across 7 sources, AI analysis, then analyst review — most publish within 24 hours. (3) Queue depth: during busy periods, reports are reviewed in request order.

Question 6

What exactly do analysts check before publishing?

Accepted Answer

Three things: (1) Data accuracy — cross-referencing AI findings against the raw source data to catch hallucinations or outdated signals. (2) Actionability — ensuring every recommended move has a realistic timeframe, cost estimate, and expected ROI. (3) Completeness — verifying no major growth channel was missed or misattributed.

Question 7

Is the data accurate? Where does it come from?

Accepted Answer

We aggregate verified third-party data — traffic estimates, revenue signals, domain metadata, and keyword databases. Every number shows its data source and last update date. Compared to general SEO tooling, we focus on SaaS-specific metrics (MRR, growth trajectories).

Question 8

How fresh is the data? How often does it update?

Accepted Answer

The database refreshes weekly, and every metric carries its own last-updated date so you always know how current it is. When you run a Growth Teardown, traffic and keyword signals are pulled fresh at report time. Competitor growth moves fast — stale data is worse than none, so we date-stamp everything.

Question 9

When does this month's traffic data update?

Accepted Answer

Traffic data is aggregated monthly. We sync the previous month's data into our database by the 15th of the following month. Until then, the most recent complete month you'll see is the one before last.

Question 10

Is $59/mo worth it? How does it compare to other competitor-intelligence tools?

Accepted Answer

Dedicated competitor-intelligence tools like SparkToro and SearchAtlas run $99–$199/mo. Probedex Pro is $59/mo — the full Discover platform plus 1 Growth Teardown every month, each ending in an AI action plan. If you're a $5K+ MRR founder, $59 is ~1% of revenue, and the 4–8 hours/month saved on research is worth far more.

Question 11

What's in the free plan?

Accepted Answer

Browse the full Discover platform with aggregate charts and the first 10 entities in every view, plus one free domain snapshot and the Sample Teardown. Buy individual Growth Teardowns when you need them ($9.90 for your first, then $19.90 each). Upgrade to Pro for unlimited Discover and a monthly report allowance.

Question 12

What if a report isn't useful — can I get a refund?

Accepted Answer

Every report previews the available data before you spend a credit, so you never pay for a domain we can't cover. If a report fails due to a system error, we automatically credit your account — no application needed. We encourage you to start with the free tier and run the Sample Teardown to evaluate quality before subscribing.

Question 13

Do I need SEO or technical skills to use Probedex?

Accepted Answer

No. Discover surfaces high-growth competitors with a few filters, and the Growth Teardown's AI does the cross-referencing — then our analysts verify every insight before it reaches you. You read findings and next steps, not raw API dumps. Most founders find actionable competitor intel within minutes of unlocking their report — no SQL, no spreadsheets, no SEO background.

Question 14

Can I cancel anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes. No contracts, no commitments. Cancel monthly plans anytime; annual plans only discount the platform fee. You keep access through the end of your current billing period.
