Find pains people already pay to fix.
Upvotes tell you a complaint is popular — not that anyone will pay to make it stop. We match every pain against real Fiverr orders, search demand and the competitors already selling a fix, and check your own idea the same way.
Built for indie developers exploring apps for marketplaces and Chrome extensions.

What we have collected so far
The counts move as the crawlers run — none of them is a rounded marketing number.
Two minutes on real data
One idea checked against the corpus, function by function: who complains, who already pays for the job, what people search for — and which parts have no evidence at all.

Strong opportunities appear in more than one dataset. VettedGaps keeps each layer separate so you can see what is observed, what is paid for and what people actively search for.
People describe the problem
Independent complaints are clustered into one recurring pain with source quotes you can inspect.
Browse pain cards →Buyers already pay for the task
Fiverr gig clusters reveal recurring paid jobs, starting prices, sellers and a conservative demand signal from buyer reviews.
Explore paid demand →The task has active search intent
Google Keyword Planner adds monthly search volume and advertiser competition around the task-shaped queries extracted from each pain.

Every pain card distills a cluster of real complaints into a single scored signal. See the full methodology →
