Overview
Build or Skip is a product opportunity research tool designed for independent developers and startup teams. It aggregates public payment signals, tipping data, site intelligence, and backlink resources to help users identify products that show commercial activity, growth, and staying power. The platform emphasizes that these signals are for research purposes and do not represent verified orders or revenue.
The tool offers several key features: a new site revenue ranking that surfaces newly registered domains with payment signals, a product revenue ranking that allows filtering by product area, payment channel, DR, registration date, and payment signals, and a tip revenue ranking that compares publicly visible Buy Me a Coffee tip amounts and trends. Additionally, it provides comment backlink and AI tool backlink libraries for finding content pages and submission opportunities.
Build or Skip also includes an API for querying domain data and an MCP integration for AI clients. The platform follows a three-step process: find opportunities, read the trend, and make the call to Build, Watch, or Skip. Pricing starts with a free preview, with Pro plans offering full access to rankings, backlink libraries, and unlimited MCP calls.
