How this works

Niches are ranked by a combination of three signals: how much demand the niche has (30-day users across all of its actors), how saturated it is with competing actors, and how much room the niche’s dominant actor leaves for a better alternative. The tier badge (Hot / Strong / Promising / Modest) compresses that combined signal into a quick read; click any niche to see the full competing field.

This lens looks at category-pair niches — the natural intersection of how Apify tags actors. Keyword-specific sub-niches (for example “yelp” inside Lead generation × Travel) need a different lens that’s on the roadmap.
