Substack subscription, exact price Not found

The above describes historical pricing. Check official website for current prices.

03 / ACQUISITION

Where do users come from?

Direct 42.1%, organic search 43.4%, brand keywords make up 68.2%; non-brand search about 17%, with terms such as "cala ai cuanto ha levantado?" and "valoracion vicio ronda vc", i.e. queries about specific companies' funding. Referral 8.7%, social from X and LinkedIn. Returning readers come back through email.

Channel share, initial acquisition, and growth drivers are distinct; correlation does not imply proven causation.

04 / YOUR NEXT QUESTION

What remains to be verified?

The following are research questions, not established market opportunities.

  • What do target users actually pay for? Is there direct user feedback or paid interview evidence?
  • Are these historical prices still active today? What are the conversion, retention, and fulfillment costs?
  • Is the "SEO" channel still viable? What resources do indie devs need to test it?
  • Whose needs are competitors failing to meet? Find specific evidence before deciding on your angle.
