IdeaFast

IdeaFast is a customer research platform for founders and builders who want to find real problems worth solving from public Reddit conversations. It helps you scan selected subreddits over a chosen time window, surface recurring pain points, and group them with an evidence-backed score.

You can explore scored pain points, view the original quotes and discussions behind each insight, and generate startup ideas based on the strongest signals and buying intent. Instead of spending hours scrolling, you get research structured into opportunities you can act on.

IdeaFast also supports validation of an existing idea against real Reddit discussions before you invest more time building. First scan is free, with one-time, usage-based options and exports available so you can save and reuse your research.

What does IdeaFast do?

IdeaFast scans public Reddit conversations to discover recurring customer pain, clusters related problems, and scores them so you can see which issues are strongest. Each pain point is backed by the original posts and comments you can review.

How do I run a research scan?

Choose the subreddit(s) you want to research and select a time window (like 7, 30, or 90 days). IdeaFast then finds recurring pain points, shows scored results, and provides the evidence from the underlying discussions.

Where does the evidence for each pain point come from?

Evidence is taken directly from the original Reddit conversations that match the discovered pain point, shown as the posts and quotes behind each insight.

Can I validate an existing idea with IdeaFast?

Yes. You can use IdeaFast to compare your idea against real Reddit discussions, helping you check whether the pain and intent you’re relying on actually shows up in public conversations.

Is IdeaFast a subscription?

IdeaFast uses usage-based, one-time payment scans with no subscription model described for the first scan. Scans never expire, and you can export research results.

What export and saving options are available?

You can save research history and export results in CSV and JSON formats, with PDF export available on the paid plans listed.
