Turn a difference
into a useful question.

A gap is a starting point for research. Check whether it matters to the customers you want to serve. Keep the source, date, and plan behind each comparison, and mark unpublished details as unknown.

Prepare your brief

Where do you
want to stand apart?

Tell us about your offer, the customers you serve, and the decision you are considering. Include competitor names or website links you already know.

Your offer

Your customer
Whom you want to serve and where.
Your decision
The pricing, positioning, or product question you want to explore.

Your question carries into setup. Review the scope and price before purchase.

A few things
to know.

Choose the comparison that fits the decision ahead.

What is a competitive analysis report?

A competitive analysis report examines the alternatives available to a defined customer group. It compares offers, pricing, and positioning to help you understand where your business fits and which differences deserve further research.

Can I include competitors I already know?

Yes. Add their names and website links to your brief, along with your target customers and geography. Include substitutes and the way customers solve the problem today, too.

Will every price or feature be available?

The detail depends on what is publicly available. Prices may vary by country, plan, or date. Unpublished information should remain unknown, and important details should be checked with the provider before acting.

Does the report include customer interviews or product testing?

No. This is AI-assisted desk research using published sources. New interviews, surveys, and live product testing are outside the report scope. You may need customer research to test preference or willingness to switch.

How is this different from a market landscape report?

Market landscape research examines the wider market, demand, and entry conditions. Competitive analysis takes a closer look at the alternatives customers can choose and the differences between them.

Should I choose Express or Pro?

Express gives you a focused overview with essential findings and initial next steps. Pro adds deeper research, detailed comparisons, frameworks, and strategic recommendations. Review the scope and price in setup before purchasing.
