The fastest free way to find your startup's competitors
Free — no paywall
Crunchbase and PitchBook hide their data behind $500/month subscriptions. Innolope competitor search is completely free for founders, PMs, and investors. Sign in once and run unlimited searches.
Real traction signals, not just company names
Every competitor listing includes Product Hunt votes, comment counts, launch date, and engagement trends — so you can instantly tell who's gaining momentum and who's gone dormant.
Direct AND adjacent competitors
Keyword search finds the obvious hits. Our industry graph lets you intersect multiple categories to surface the adjacent startups — the indirect competitors you'd miss with Google alone.
Your Competitors Slide in the Pitch Deck — Finally Complete
The Competitors slide is where most decks fall apart. A half-finished competitor analysis tells a VC you haven't done your homework. A thorough one signals market awareness and a defensible wedge.
Innolope builds your Competitors slide for you. Enter your product and industry, and in seconds you'll have a ranked list of direct and indirect competitors — complete with launch dates, traction signals, and industry tags. Exactly what VCs expect to see behind your "why now, why us" narrative.
No more last-minute Crunchbase scrambles the night before a first meeting. No more blank quadrants on your competitive landscape slide. Build the pitch deck competitors slide that shows every investor you understand your market cold.

Competitor search FAQ
Is Innolope competitor search really free?
Yes — 100% free. You sign in once with Google or email, then run unlimited searches. Unlike Crunchbase, PitchBook, or CB Insights, you don't pay a $500/month subscription to find competitors.
How do I build the competitors slide for my pitch deck?
Sign in, enter your product keyword, and pick the industries your startup sits in. The ranked list of direct and adjacent competitors — with traction signals — drops straight into the competitors slide of your pitch deck. Most founders finish theirs in under 10 minutes.
How do I find competitors for my startup?
Enter a product keyword (e.g. "AI meeting notes", "fintech for SMBs") plus one or more industries. Add multiple industries with the + button to search the intersection. Results are ranked by traction signals so the most active competitors appear first.
How is this different from Crunchbase, PitchBook, or G2?
Innolope is free and focused on startup traction rather than funding data. You get Product Hunt signals, launch recency, and industry graphs — the signals that matter when you're mapping live competition, not historical funding rounds.
Where does your startup and competitor data come from?
We aggregate publicly available startup data from Product Hunt and public launch channels, with our industry classification layered on top. The index covers 400,000+ startups and is refreshed daily.
How do I find indirect competitors or adjacent competitors?
Add two or more industries when you run your search. Innolope intersects them to surface the adjacent startups in overlapping categories — the indirect competitors you'd miss with a keyword-only search.
How fresh is the competitor data?
The startup index is refreshed daily. Votes, comments, and launch dates update in near real-time from public sources.
