Cresh

Editorial Review

Cresh fills a useful niche for early-stage entrepreneurs who want quick, structured feedback on their startup ideas. The platform's 33-metric framework covers market viability, problem strength, user demand, competition, and technical feasibility, providing a comprehensive snapshot that would normally require hours of manual research. The guided wizard makes it easy to describe your concept in a structured way. With over 10,600 users, Cresh has built a community around idea validation. The free tier offers a limited 5-metric analysis, which is enough to get a taste of the platform's capabilities. Paid plans range from $9 for a single analysis to $29 for five, making it relatively affordable for founders testing multiple concepts. The main limitation is that AI-generated validation is inherently surface-level compared to real market testing. The analysis is best used as a starting point for further research rather than a definitive verdict on an idea's viability. Still, for indie hackers and first-time founders looking for a structured way to stress-test their concepts, Cresh offers solid value.
