>log in to commentI built CrowdBefore to let founders test ideas with thousands of realistic buyers before they invest in building. It pulls out product, customer and price, runs a live crowd debate, and gives clear answers on who to sell to, pricing and competitors in minutes. Would love your thoughts on the experience 😊

Crowd Before FAQ
Is this real market research?+
No, it’s a simulated market using realistic buyer profiles, not actual consumer data.
How does it differ from a chatbot?+
Unlike a chatbot, thousands of distinct simulated buyers respond independently and the numbers are aggregated.
What is included in the free tier?+
One free run with up to 100 participants; the verdict and summary are visible, while competitors, voices and the PDF are blurred until unlocked.
How do credits work?+
A run costs 10 credits, unlocking the full report costs 2 credits, and a what-if rerun costs 5 credits; credits never expire.
Is there any subscription?+
No, you pay once for a plan or top-up credits and nothing renews automatically.
