Honest position
Who does this today: Fomo (€19–79/mo), TrustPulse (€5–39/mo), Provesrc,
Nudgify — plus a long tail of Shopify-only apps. So the category is validated and the
price point is known. What isn't taken: every incumbent is a paid SaaS with a
trial funnel and no reason for a customer to spread it. The free tier with the badge
on is the wedge — the incumbents can't copy it without cannibalising the paid plan
they already sell, and we have no revenue to protect.
The real risks, not the pitch: the lift number is the whole product and
it's contested — published A/B results range from ~0 to ~15%, and a badly tuned widget
annoys buyers; fake-looking events destroy trust faster than they build it, so events
must come from the shop's real orders (webhook, not invention), which is the part not
built here; and platform app-stores are gated by KYC, so distribution has to be
self-serve script installs, which is exactly why the badge loop matters.
