Built for SaaS decisions
A competitor list with enough evidence to challenge.
Generic competitor generators often repeat directories or search-result neighbors. This tool separates discovery from proof, then shows the bounded official-site evidence and the exact scoring rule.
First-party proof
Official product pages and validated excerpts, not directory descriptions.
Transparent score
Six weighted overlap components and a visible direct/indirect threshold.
Honest boundaries
Robots exclusions, failed validations, caps, and ambiguities remain visible.
How it works
Profile, discover, verify, then score.
- 01
Profile
A bounded crawl builds a cited picture of your category, buyer, workflow, and buying motion.
- 02
Discover
Exa searches a compact public profile for company leads across three competitor angles.
- 03
Verify
Candidate domains must expose eligible first-party product evidence under their robots policies.
- 04
Score
Gemini applies the published rubric; the server validates excerpts, components, totals, and classification.
The score
Overlap, not popularity.
A score above 50 is direct. A score of 50 or below is indirect. Evidence strength is reported separately, so a high match never disguises thin source coverage.

SaaS competitor research questions
How does the SaaS Competitor Finder identify competitors?
It profiles your public SaaS marketing pages, uses Exa to discover candidate companies, checks official company sites, validates first-party excerpts, and applies a published 100-point product-overlap rubric.
What is the difference between a direct and indirect competitor?
For this report, a score above 50 is direct and a score of 50 or below is indirect. The score measures category, buyer, workflow, substitutability, buying motion, and geographic overlap; it is not confidence or market share.
Will the tool always return 25 competitors?
No. It aims for 10 to 25 verified companies but never pads the list. A smaller report is clearly marked when fewer official sites provide enough evidence.
Does Exa decide the rankings?
No. Exa supplies bounded discovery leads. Blogged validates official public pages and calculates classification only after the evidence and score components pass server checks.
Does the tool obey competitors’ robots.txt files?
Yes. Your authorization covers the submitted target only. Candidate company sites are fetched only when their effective BloggedBot robots policy permits it.
How private is the result?
The report is private to your signed-in account or anonymous browser capability. Signed-out results expire after 24 hours and signed-in results after 30 days. The owner may explicitly create a redacted share link for 24 hours when anonymous or seven days when signed in, never beyond the source result, and can replace or revoke it.
