As answered by people managing Spotfic and Map Chart.
Spotfic's answer
I'm a solo founder from India. I watched first-time business owners around me make their biggest financial decision, signing a multi-year commercial lease, on gut feel and a broker's word, because proper site-selection analysis costs lakhs and takes weeks. Choosing the wrong location kills more small businesses than bad food or bad service ever will. I built Spotfic to make the analysis a consultant would charge thousands for available in 60 seconds, for the price of a dinner. And to be honest enough to tell you when a location is a bad idea.
Spotfic's answer
React and Vite on the front end, Supabase (Postgres) for data and auth, Vercel serverless functions with a background worker for report generation, Google Places API for live competitor and location data, Anthropic Claude for the analysis engine, and Chart.js for report visualizations. Mobile apps are built with Capacitor.
Spotfic's answer
Most location tools either cost five figures a year (enterprise platforms like Placer.ai) or give you generic AI text with no real data behind it. Spotfic sits in neither camp. Every report combines live Google Maps competitor data (real businesses, ratings, review counts, distances) with AI analysis, and clearly labels which insights are hard data and which are estimates, each with a confidence level. And it's honest: the score is 0 to 10 and it will tell you NO. We recently scored one of Bengaluru's most famous cafe streets 4/10 because 18 competitors sit within 1 km. A tool that only says "great location!" isn't analysis, it's flattery.
Spotfic's answer
Three reasons. Price model: pay-as-you-go from $9 for reports, no subscription, and credits never expire, while enterprise alternatives start at thousands per year. Coverage: it works worldwide, anywhere Google Maps covers, with dedicated demographic pipelines for India, the US, UK, Canada and Australia. India especially is a market no enterprise location-intelligence tool serves. Speed and completeness: one address in, a 14-section report out in about 60 seconds, covering competitors, foot traffic, demographics, rent benchmark, SWOT, financial outlook and a 90-day launch plan, exportable as a PDF.
Spotfic's answer
People about to sign a commercial lease: first-time founders opening a restaurant, cafe, gym, salon, clinic or store; franchise owners and expansion teams comparing candidate territories; and commercial real-estate advisors and franchise consultants who want data-backed site recommendations for their clients.
Spotfic's answer
We're early-stage and don't publish customer names yet. Our users are small business owners, franchise operators and commercial real-estate advisors across India, the US and beyond.

- Taymyr Peninsula is much smaller, the tool I was using (mapchart.net) only let me colour in the whole oblast, when Taymyr is just the top bit. Source: over 3 years ago
Mapchart.net is a fun one. I like to color in counties I've been to and see a long string from road trips. A little more labor intensive though. Source: over 3 years ago
