Yes. You can upgrade or downgrade your plan at any time from your account settings. When upgrading, you'll be charged the prorated difference. When downgrading, the change takes effect at the end of your current billing period.
PainMiner does the work you can't scale: we continuously monitor multiple sources, apply a two-pass LLM pipeline to filter noise and score opportunities, and add human curation with validation playbooks. You get validated software gaps instead of raw complaints - plus trend velocity data that shows you which gaps are growing.
Every approved pain point (Pro tier+) includes a one-page validation playbook with: the top 3 subreddits to post your idea in, 5 cold DM scripts to reach people experiencing the pain, and a Tally form template for demand testing. You can validate an opportunity in an afternoon.
Our ingestion pipeline runs weekly, continuously collecting new complaints from Reddit, Hacker News, and targeted commercial forums. Trend velocity scores tell you which opportunities are accelerating vs. declining.
You retain access until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account reverts to the Free tier. You won't lose your bookmarks or settings. You can resubscribe at any time.
We offer a 7-day free trial on all plans, so you can evaluate PainMiner risk-free. If you're not satisfied, contact us within 7 days of your first charge and we'll refund your payment. The one-time report has a 30-day money-back guarantee.
