Analook is a competitive intelligence tool that produces a full competitor teardown in 60 seconds from a URL input, integrating 15+ data sources including SEO, traffic, social media, Product Hunt, GitHub, pricing, and an AI-generated strategic verdict.
What is Analook?
Analook is a freemium web application that analyzes any product's public web presence — website, social accounts, GitHub repository, Product Hunt launches, Google Trends history, and Wayback Machine archives — and returns a structured analysis report with a Strategy Radar score (e.g., 58/100 for AFFiNE). It runs in the browser and is built by the team behind Gingiris, a growth tools provider for founders. No signup is needed for the first two reports.
What makes Analook stand out?
- 15+ integrated data sources — Combines DataForSEO traffic estimates, Wayback Machine historical snapshots, Twitter/X follower counts, GitHub stars and activity, Product Hunt API votes, Google Trends peaks, and AI-generated business insights into one report.
- Free tier with 2 reports per month — No credit card required; enough to run competitive analysis for early-stage research.
- Multiple input methods — Paste any product URL, or use text descriptions and PDF uploads for products without websites (e.g., pitch decks, internal docs). PDF size limit is 20 MB.
- MCP server integration — Works with Claude Desktop and Cursor via a single MCP tool call, returning the full report as JSON. Also supports a REST API endpoint.
- Automatic timeout with partial results — If analysis exceeds 5 minutes, completed sections are returned automatically; no waiting for a full run.
- Curated sample reports — See real outputs for AFFiNE, Notion, and Cal.com, showing Strategy Radar scores, growth waves, and channel breakdowns.
- Comprehensive competitor intelligence reports — Deep-dives on products like Cursor, Linear, and Vercel are available as public reference reports.
