Analook

Analook is an AI-powered competitive intelligence tool that analyzes any product's growth strategy, SEO, social media presence, and market positioning in about 2 minutes. It aggregates data from 15+ sources including Wayback Machine, DataForSEO, Twitter, GitHub, Product Hunt, and Google Trends.

Analook gives new accounts 2 complimentary reports to start. The Pro plan costs $19/month for 30 reports, and individual reports can be purchased for $5 each. No credit card required to start.

Analook aggregates data from 15+ sources: Wayback Machine for website history, DataForSEO and SEO Review Tools for traffic/SEO, TwitterAPI.io for social media, Product Hunt API, GitHub API, Google Trends via SerpApi, Brave Search, HN Algolia, and AI language models for strategic analysis.

Yes, Analook can serve as a more affordable alternative to SimilarWeb for competitive intelligence. While SimilarWeb focuses on traffic data, Analook provides a broader analysis including growth strategy, social media, Product Hunt launches, and AI-powered strategic insights at a fraction of the cost ($5/report vs $125+/month).

Yes, Analook offers a REST API at /api/v1/analyze that can be called from Claude Code, MCP servers, or any AI agent. Simply POST a URL and get a full competitive intelligence report as JSON.

Analook works in three steps: you submit any competitor URL, it concurrently pulls data from 15+ sources (Wayback Machine, DataForSEO, Twitter, GitHub, Product Hunt, Google Trends, and more), then an AI model synthesizes the signals into a structured report covering SEO, traffic, social presence, pricing, and growth strategy — delivered in about 60 seconds.

Yes. Analook's free tier includes 2 full competitor reports to start with no credit card required. Each free report covers all 15+ signal categories — SEO, traffic, social media, Product Hunt, GitHub, pricing extraction, and AI strategic verdict — not a stripped-down preview.

Analook's traffic and SEO estimates are directional rather than panel-based — sourced from DataForSEO and SEO Review Tools. For well-trafficked sites (100K+ monthly visits), accuracy is typically within 20-30% of actual numbers. For early-stage sites (<10K visits), estimates are less precise but still useful for relative comparisons. Historical data from Wayback Machine and structured data (GitHub stars, Product Hunt votes) are factual, not estimated.

SEMrush and Ahrefs are SEO-first tools optimized for keyword research, backlink audits, and rank tracking. Analook is competitor-intelligence-first — it covers 14 signal categories those tools don't touch: Product Hunt launch history, GitHub open-source community, social media presence, Wayback Machine evolution, pricing page extraction, and an AI-generated strategic verdict. Analook costs $5/report or $19/month vs. $129-$139/month for Ahrefs/SEMrush.

Yes. Analook exposes a REST API at /api/v1/analyze that can be called from Cursor, Claude Code, Windsurf, or any AI agent or MCP server. POST a competitor URL and receive the full structured intelligence report as JSON — useful for automating competitive research inside your coding workflow.
