2. Channelswhere new users come from and what the traffic looks like
New-user source: Other (Direct / referral / email / paid). Similarweb has no data for this domain, so traffic is small. The website has only login, free trial, and blog entries, with no social accounts, customer cases, or press coverage; founder Doruk Akal says 'I handle every account personally' and left a personal phone number, so early customers were probably reached one-on-one by the founder contacting dealers (speculation, no evidence found). The blog just published two articles on 2026-10-18 and 10-26 about whether an AI BDC is worth it and how much it costs for small used-car dealers, which is search content that has only just started. The founder did not fill in a channel on TrustMRR. Returning customers renew through monthly subscriptions, currently 8 subscriptions.
