Seven dimensions a founder actually cares about when choosing where to find their next idea.

What it is
IdeaProofIdeaProof is an AI idea validator. You bring a concept, and it returns a viability score with a report covering market size (TAM/SAM/SOM), competitor SWOT, financial projections, and go-to-market notes, typically in about two minutes.
Business Ideas DBBusiness Ideas DB (BID) is a database of validated business ideas at businessideasdb.com, sourced from live Reddit pain-point scanning and App Store opportunity gaps, scored by AI, and paired with verified Stripe revenue from competitors already operating in the niche.
Who brings the idea
IdeaProofYou do. IdeaProof is most useful once you already have a concept to test.
Business Ideas DBBID does. The scanner runs continuously and surfaces problems people are already complaining about, so you start from demand rather than from a hunch.
Sourcing
IdeaProofAnalysis is generated per submitted idea rather than drawn from a standing corpus of complaints.

Proof of demand
IdeaProofA generated viability score plus TAM/SAM/SOM estimates and a SWOT.
Business Ideas DBFour levels of evidence per idea: (1) at least one source thread or review, (2) repeated complaint patterns, (3) DataForSEO keyword search volume + growth, (4) Proven Earners, actual competitors with verified Stripe revenue via TrustMRR.

FAQ

Is Business Ideas DB the same as IdeaProof?+

No, and they solve different halves of the problem. IdeaProof validates an idea you already have. Business Ideas DB (businessideasdb.com) finds the idea for you from live Reddit and App Store complaints, then attaches keyword volume and competitors with verified Stripe revenue. If you have a concept, validate it. If you don't, start from the database.

Does Business Ideas DB have a validator too?+

Yes, and it's free. The idea validator at /idea-validator scores any concept on demand, competition, feasibility, and market timing using the same engine that grades the database. No signup required.

Why does verified revenue matter more than a viability score?+

A viability score is a model's opinion about whether a market could exist. A Proven Earner is a named company with Stripe-verified MRR in that market right now. One is a projection, the other is a receipt. BID ships the receipts alongside every idea via TrustMRR.
