How it works

1

Pick a channel and describe the feature

Choose a landing page, email, ad campaign, or in-app banner, and name the feature you want to test demand for.

2

Get suggested test copy

A headline and call-to-action template tuned to the channel, ready to adapt to your feature.

3

See the volume needed for a reliable signal

Based on expected traffic, the tool estimates how many visitors and how long you need to reach a reasonably reliable click count.

Frequently asked questions

What is a fake-door test?

A test where you advertise a feature that doesn't exist yet, to measure real interest via clicks or signups before building it.

How many clicks count as a reliable signal?

As a rule of thumb, this tool uses 20 clicks as a floor — fewer than that is usually just noise from early visitors.

Is it ethical to advertise something that doesn't exist?

Yes, when handled honestly — tell people you're gauging interest and follow up, rather than letting them think it's available today.
