Stop Guessing What to Build
In the age of AI, anyone can code an app in a weekend. But build what?
We analyzed 1.3M App Store reviews across 3,744 apps to find the best opportunities. The research is done. Just pick one and build.
Category deep-dives — 25 App Store categories broken down per app. Pain points, ratings, opportunities.
App Breakdowns — opportunity scores and revenue estimates, concrete suggestion for what to make next.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
“Can't I just do this research myself?”
You could. Budget 40+ hours per category. We analyzed 1.3M reviews across 3,744 apps so you don't have to.
“How is this different from Sensor Tower / App Annie?”
Those are enterprise tools at $500+/mo for big teams tracking their own apps. IdeaMine is built for builders — it tells you what to build next, not how your existing app is performing.
“How fresh is the data?”
Reviews and scores are refreshed regularly. The underlying pain points don’t change overnight. (People have been complaining about the same things for years.)
“What do I get on the free tier?”
Partial access to 3 categories (Education, Productivity, Utilities) — a couple apps each so you can see the depth of analysis. No credit card required.
“What if I don't know how to code?”
You don't need to anymore. Vibe coding tools like Cursor, Codex and Replit mean anyone can build an app now. IdeaMine tells you what’s worth building.
“Can I cancel anytime?”
Yes. No contracts, no commitments. Cancel from your account page in one click.
