About Launchscope
LaunchScope helps decide whether an idea is worth building. You start in a Research Hub with an idea brief covering audience, problem, solution and timing, then get a market read covering market size, trend direction, rival products, what customers struggle with, price pressure and early warning signs. The strongest angle becomes a landing test page with a waitlist form and tracking, and a validation report pulls research, page signals, subscribers and risks into one decision.
The demand-testing side publishes the page at a shareable link, tracks traffic sources across campaigns, referrals, countries and devices, and shows visitors, signups and conversion. Waitlist subscribers are listed with signup source, campaign data and weekly growth, with export options. Research draws on real pain points from sources such as Reddit, and Pro adds Quora, G2, Capterra and Product Hunt.
LaunchScope is a hosted service. The first idea validation is free, after which it costs $5 per idea, or $12 per month for three validations monthly. The free-level pages show a Powered by LaunchScope badge and 10 visible waitlist signups.
