Got an idea? Check the comparables first: who published real revenue, what profit sellers report, and how many users similar extensions and apps have.
Once connected, ask your agent
- Does anyone building restock-alert tools publish revenue, and how much a month?
- What multiple of annual revenue do similar products list for?
- How many Chrome extensions in this niche show any pricing?
