01
Open live listing pages
Public marketplace pages that already sit in the niche. Gumroad first. Other public marketplaces when they show the same thing.
Marketplace demand, counted
Evidence of buyers, not evidence of listings.
We open live marketplace listing pages for what you want to sell. A notion planner. n8n templates. The niche as you name it. We write down only what those pages print, and we keep the piles separate: verified paid-product ratings, free-product ratings, visible sales or downloads, and listings with no public evidence. A listing is supply. Evidence of a buyer is something else. Chatbots guess and recap. We count.

How it works
Three steps. No model in the middle.
The method is the product. If a number is not on a public listing page, it does not enter the table.
02
Write what the page shows
Price. Rating count. Sales or downloads only if the listing prints them. Unrelated cards get dropped.
03
Call it
Go, caution, or no-go. Paid ratings, free ratings, visible sales, and empty listings are not the same evidence. We do not add them together.

Measured niches, 17 Aug 2026
Ratings below were read on live Gumroad listing pages on 17 Aug 2026. Rows that could not be confirmed say so. Life planner and second brain overlap the Notion row — do not add those rating totals together.
| Niche | Call | Verified ratings | Listings opened | Prices seen | Visible sales | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| notion template | Go | 991 | 5 | $0+ to $29 | 3,199 downloads on one free listing | One $18 planner holds 627 ratings. Paid demand is real. The category is crowded. |
| n8n templates | Go | 36 | 2 | $1+ / $27 | 2,805 sales on a $1+ generator | Buyers exist. They cluster on a cheap incumbent. A new $27 pack showed no ratings. |
| life planner | Go | 627 | 1 | $18 | — | Same Dream Life Planner counted under Notion. Overlap. Do not double-count. |
| second brain | Caution | 245 | 1 | $0+ | — | Ratings sit on a pay-what-you-want listing. Attention, not a paid price floor. |
| cold email | Caution | 25 | 2 | $27 / $37 | — | A 2021 course still has 25 ratings. Newer packs listed with no public ratings. |
| claude code | Caution | 0 | 4 | $5 to $14.97 | 14 sales on one guide | Supply is recent. Public ratings were not on the pages opened. Thin proof of buyers. |
| faceless youtube | Caution | 5 | 3 | $10.85 to $69.99 | — | Loud sales copy. Five verified ratings on one $17 guide. The rest: price only. |
| digital planner | Caution | — | 3 | $7.99 to $12.99 | — | Unverified ratings. Listings exist. Live rating counts were not readable this week. |
| cursor rules | Caution | 0 | 2 | $1 / $13+ | — | Packs are for sale. No ratings or sales on the pages opened. Early, not proven. |
| excel dashboard | No-go | 0 | 3 | $14.99 / $29+ | — | Products listed. No verified ratings or sales on the Excel pages opened. |

You tell us what you want to sell. A notion planner. n8n templates. We open the live listing pages already in that niche and return the same four piles and a go / caution / no-go call.
- The niche, as you wrote it, plus obvious close variants if the marketplace results are noisy.
- Each ranked listing we opened: URL, price, rating count, visible sales.
- Paid-product ratings and free-product ratings kept separate. Visible sales or downloads only when the page prints them. Listings with no public evidence listed as such.
- Unrelated listings called out and excluded.
- A short call: go, caution, or no-go, with the reason in two or three sentences.
- Gaps labeled. No invented sales.
