Apify Opportunity Radar

Compare an Actor idea before you build it. Search public Apify Store competitors, compare visible usage and pricing signals, and download a clear Excel report in English or French.

Built for Apify developers choosing their next Actor, agencies comparing alternatives, and product teams making an initial shortlist. $0.10 per complete Excel report, including all competitors returned in that report.

Start with a working example

1. Open Input and enter your niche in Theme or Actor idea. The example uses Google Maps; replace it with your own idea.
2. Keep Quick, choose your report language and a maximum of 5–100 competitors.
3. Click Start. When the run finishes, open Output and click Download the Excel report.

The workbook downloads as Opportunity_Radar.xlsx. If the embedded preview does not open, open the download-page link in a new tab. JSON and CSV competitor records are also available in the run's default Dataset.

No external API key or proxy configuration is required. You need an Apify account to run the Actor.

What you receive

Result	What it helps you examine
Competitor list with Store links	Existing alternatives and their developers
Visible usage and pricing	Public activity and advertised pricing signals
Direct, partial and indirect classifications	How closely the selected Actors match your theme
Visual Excel summary	Compare the selected competitors and review the recommendation
Opportunity score and evidence confidence	Separate an initial market signal from the strength of its evidence

The report provides a cautious BUILD, WATCH or NO-GO recommendation, localized in French reports. Use the supporting facts and source links to decide what to investigate next.

Preview a real report

Download the Google Maps sample Excel report — generated on September 4, 2026 from public Store data. This snapshot includes 20 selected competitors from 15 developers; it is not an exhaustive market count. Downloading this existing sample does not start a paid run.

Example input

{
  "theme": "Google Maps",
  "keywords": [],
  "analysisDepth": "quick",
  "maxCompetitors": 20,
  "includeIndirect": true,
  "reportLanguage": "en"
}

To compare an existing Actor, paste its public https://apify.com/username/actor-name URL into Apify Actor URL and clear Theme or Actor idea. Radar infers the theme from its public metadata and excludes the reference Actor from competitors. If the reference cannot be found, try a descriptive theme instead.

Add a few relevant keywords to broaden discovery. The maximum competitor count is a cap, not a guaranteed result count. Both report languages search the worldwide Apify Store.

Price

One complete report costs $0.10, whether it contains 5, 20 or 100 competitors. There is no separate Actor-start or per-competitor event. Empty, incomplete or failed analyses do not trigger the complete-report event. Set your maximum run charge to at least $0.10.

Understand the limits

• This is an initial comparison of public Store data, not a full market study. Results depend on search terms, public metadata and the chosen cap.
• Visible users are not confirmed paying customers. Usage summed across Actors is not a count of unique people across the market.
• Prices may use different billing units; inspect each competitor's pricing before comparing costs.
• The opportunity score is a heuristic, not a probability of success or a revenue forecast. Evidence confidence is capped at 80/100. Technical feasibility includes a provisional baseline and needs a separate source-access review.
• Deep currently provides the same Store coverage as Quick. It remains accepted for existing integrations and adds no page enrichment.
• Optional problem and customer fields record context; they do not validate willingness to pay. Regulatory options provide reference links, not legal research.
• An empty search is treated as uncertain, not proof that competition or demand is absent. Internal readiness fields are not an official Apify Quality Score or certification.

Automation and outputs

Use the same input JSON through the Apify API or save a task with your preferred settings. Each run provides a fresh snapshot; keep previous reports to compare changes yourself.

• Output: download page for the Excel workbook.
• Dataset: normalized competitor records, exportable as JSON or CSV.
• Key-value store: REPORT_XLSX workbook, DOWNLOAD.html download page and REPORT structured analysis.

Help and feedback

If a run fails or a competitor looks misclassified, open an issue on this Actor's Issues tab with the run ID and a non-sensitive description of the expected result. Do not include API tokens or private customer data.
