How the ranking works
Revenue signal
Median and average monthly ad spend from Proven SaaS benchmarks are converted into a directional paid MRR signal using the same 1.5x ROAS model used in our revenue benchmarks.
Demand signal
Advertiser count shows whether a category has active companies buying attention. A niche with many advertisers is rarely a blank market.
Reddit signal
The Reddit/forum column is a qualitative validation prompt: the exact type of complaint, workaround, or repeated question to verify before building.
