"Pain clusters" steps back from single ideas. It groups niches that share a pain into themes, and adds the trend topics, existing apps and websites closest to each theme. You find it in the menu under "Trends", or through "See the themes" on the Trends page.
How to use it
- Open Pain clusters.
- Look at the ring: each theme is a numbered dot, and a bigger dot holds more niches. The list under the ring gives each theme's name.
- Click a dot or a name. The theme's panel shows its summary, its counts and its members: "Niches", "Trend topics", "Incumbent apps" and "Websites".
- Click a niche to open its report, or "Open listing" to see an app's store page.
Where the themes come from
Once a week, after the weekly measurements, TrendGap groups niches by meaning, using their titles and descriptions. Niches share a theme only when they are similar enough, and a theme needs at least two niches. The page shows the largest themes and the week they were grouped. Open "How themes are found" for the full method.
A theme's summary is marked "AI summary" when AI wrote it from the members, or "Written by the TrendGap team". A theme with no name yet is called "Theme" with its number; one with no write-up says so and still lists its members. The counts are the members listed.
Free and paid
Paid plans see each theme's name, summary and counts, and every niche, trend topic and app in it. On Free, themes stay unnamed and each one lists the niches you can open today.
When the page is empty
Themes appear once enough niches share a pain. Until then the page says there are no pain clusters yet.
