Competitor weakness map

  • iFax ($17.99-27.99/mo): 2.9 stars on SiteJabber. Free trial scams. No AI — just sends images. No document understanding, no routing, no auto-fill. 1990s technology with 2020s pricing.
  • YNAB ($14.99/mo): 2-3 month learning curve. Zero-based budgeting philosophy alienates casual users. Price increased again. Sync issues.
  • MileIQ ($233M acquisition): Requires manual swipe for every single trip — business or personal. The defining pain point. Now owned by Bending Spoons who are known for aggressive monetization and cost-cutting.
  • GPTZero: Text-only detection. No images, no video, no browser extension. Focused on academic plagiarism, not consumer use. Enterprise pricing.
