FAQ

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit blandit id dolor venenatis auctor maecenas egestas arcu ut consectetur.

Do I need programming skills to use the Product Explorer effectively?

No. All data is made available through Airtable and thus it's easy to create, for example, custom filters.

Is the data always up-to-date?

No, all data is cached. Product Explorer is a research tool, not a monitoring tool. For most use-cases it won't make a big difference if, for example, a Chrome extension has 271 or 273 reviews. However, if you have a particularly time-sensitive use-case, Product Explorer is probably not the right tool for you.

How often is the data updated?

Currently, all data sets are updated once a month. This should be sufficient for most use-cases. But if you have a use-case that requires more frequent updates, please reach out and we'll probably be able to work something out.

What about data on X?

No data set is ever complete and there is a lot of information that potentially could be useful but is currently missing. But as an early customer you have a big say in the Product Explorer's further development. You can help by sending us a description of your use-case and by suggesting new features.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, of course. If you're not satisfied, you get your money back. No questions asked. (But of course, we'd love to hear what you didn't like about it since we're committed to making Product Explorer as useful as possible.)

Will more data be added in the future?

Yes, one of the main goals during the next months is to add more long-tail data. And as an early supporter you can help to decide what kind of data should be a priority.
