Ideas.xyz vs Ideabrowser: The 2026 Comparison

Finding a business idea worth twelve months of your life is the first wall every founder hits. The screening is brutal: of the 13,454 opportunities analyzed by Ideas.xyz, 90% were rejected before publication. Two services now promise to do that selection work for you: Ideabrowser, launched in the US by Greg Isenberg, and Ideas.xyz, the French subscription for data-validated ideas.

This comparison puts the two products head to head using only public, sourced facts: what each database actually contains, the price of every plan, what each does better than the other, and the founder profile each one fits. By the end, you will know which one matches your situation, or whether neither makes sense for you today.

Ideabrowser at a glance

Ideabrowser is an American product launched in May 2025 by Greg Isenberg and the Late Checkout team. The launch was polished: it was #3 Product of the Day on Product Hunt in June 2025, carried by Isenberg's personal audience, which he says exceeds 500,000 YouTube subscribers. No user count for the product has been published to date, so the real size of the customer base is anyone's guess.

At its core is a database of pre-analyzed startup ideas: more than 800 ideas according to its pricing page (December 2025), with about 120 ideas added each month (its own figure). Each idea carries four scores (Opportunity, Problem, Feasibility, Why Now), search volumes and a revenue potential estimate. One idea of the day is free to view, and the catalog is shared by all subscribers: every member sees the same ideas as everyone else.

Ideabrowser itself acknowledges two limits. First, every idea is published with an in-house disclaimer: the analyses and estimates are "educational and based on assumptions." Second, the product builds nothing: it generates prompts to paste into v0, Replit or Lovable, the American vibe coding tools. Human support (weekly coaching, monthly AMAs with Isenberg, a community) exists only at the most expensive tier, Empire, billed at $2.99K per year. Everything is in English only, with no French version.

Ideas.xyz at a glance

Ideas.xyz is a French subscription for data-validated business ideas. Its method cross-checks more than 20 professional sources (Crunchbase, Semrush, Google Trends, Acquire.com) and relies on openly harsh screening: 13,454 opportunities reviewed, 90% rejected before publication. What comes out the other end survived a filter, not a brainstorm.

Each idea that makes the cut arrives as a complete report: 50 to 70 statistical and business data points, a step-by-step action plan, a marketing strategy and a list of tools to launch. The goal is for the report to be enough to get started, without weeks of your own research. If you are still looking for your direction, our guide to finding a business idea covers that groundwork.

The model is simple: €99 per month with no commitment, or €499 per year, money-back guaranteed. One free idea is published every day, so you can judge the depth of the reports before paying anything. The trial risk is capped either way: no commitment on the monthly plan, and a refund if the service doesn't fit.

Head to head

The table sums up the key differences, backed by public figures. The two products share one thing: one free idea per day, which lets you compare the quality of the analyses without pulling out a credit card.

The most telling row is content per idea: on one side, a data-rich file with its roadmap; on the other, a score grid with prompts. Both approaches are defensible, but they serve different stages of a project.

Another basic difference is method. Ideabrowser condenses its judgment into four scores and leaves you to dig deeper. Ideas.xyz lays out its evidence, with 50 to 70 visible data points per report and their cross-checked sources. Depending on how you decide (a summary score to interpret, or a file to verify line by line), one format will naturally suit you better. The simplest move is to put each service's idea of the day side by side and see which one gets you closer to a decision.

What Ideabrowser does better

Volume and pace. More than 800 ideas to browse according to its pricing page, about 120 new ones each month by its own figures: for a founder who wants to scan widely and browse before digging in, the feed is real. The four scores (Opportunity, Problem, Feasibility, Why Now) give a quick framework for sorting that feed, and search volumes offer a first signal of demand. The stated publishing pace also keeps the catalog fresh: recent ideas fit current market windows better.

A bridge to American vibe coding. Ideabrowser generates prompts ready to paste into v0, Replit or Lovable. For a founder building a software product in that English-language ecosystem, the path from idea to first prototype is direct. This fits the model described in our micro-SaaS guide, and it will appeal to people who want to start a business without knowing how to code.

Access to Greg Isenberg. At the Empire tier ($2.99K per year), Ideabrowser sells weekly coaching, monthly AMAs with Isenberg and a community. For anyone who already follows his work (he says he has more than 500,000 YouTube subscribers), that proximity has value on its own, apart from the idea database. The Pro tier adds an AI research agent, limited to 3 reports per month, with a chat capped at 100 messages per month.

What Ideas.xyz does better

The depth of each report. An Ideas.xyz idea comes with 50 to 70 statistical and business data points, a step-by-step action plan, a marketing strategy and a list of tools. Ideabrowser shows scores and estimates, and states under each idea that they are "educational and based on assumptions." On one side, a file ready to execute; on the other, a starting point you have to dig into yourself.

The harshness of the screening. 90% of the 13,454 opportunities Ideas.xyz analyzed are never published. The promise is the opposite of volume: fewer ideas, but each one survived the cross-check of more than 20 professional sources (Crunchbase, Semrush, Google Trends, Acquire.com). A tight catalog can be read in full; a feed of about 120 ideas a month gets skimmed, and skimming rarely produces a decision.

Entry price and reversibility. Ideabrowser sells only by the year: $499 minimum, committed all at once, with no guarantee highlighted on its pricing page. Ideas.xyz starts at €99 per month with no commitment, money-back guaranteed, and publishes one free idea every day. You test for a month, judge it on the evidence, and stop if the quality doesn't hold up. And everything is in French, which no American player in this space offers today.

Pricing in detail

Ideabrowser's rates come from its pricing page and were reconfirmed by a third-party review in July 2026. The key point: everything is billed annually, and there is no monthly plan.

On an annual basis, the two entry tickets are in the same range ($499 on one side, €499 on the other). The difference is flexibility: Ideas.xyz lets you start monthly and stop whenever you want, while Ideabrowser commits you for twelve months from the first payment. And to get human support at Ideabrowser, you have to move up to the Empire tier at $2.99K per year.

Who should choose what

The two products don't target the same founder. The choice comes down to three questions: your working language, your need for depth, and your tolerance for an annual commitment. Ask about your real budget too: an Empire tier at $2.99K per year can't be compared to a monthly subscription you can cancel, even if the pricing pages look similar at first glance.

• Choose Ideabrowser if you work in English, target the American market and want a feed of inspiration tied to v0, Replit or Lovable, with Greg Isenberg's ecosystem in the background.
• Choose Ideas.xyz if you want complete, ready-to-execute reports, in French, with a reversible monthly subscription and a money-back guarantee.
• Start with the free ideas from both services, one per day on each side: nothing measures the real depth of the analyses better before you pay.
