2. Channelswhere new users come from and what the traffic looks like
New-user source: SEO (Non-brand search). Similarweb 2026-09: the top channel is direct (45.1%), organic search about 41%, organic social about 8% (X, YouTube, Reddit). Besides the brand keyword capgo, search terms include multilingual non-brand keywords such as capacitor是什么 (Chinese, 'what is capacitor') and 中国 ota 暗号化 (Japanese, 'China OTA encryption'), which come from the site translating its blog and comparison pages into many languages; referral sites are tiny (indiepa.ge, exitfounder.io, uneed.best, etc.). Founder Martin Donadieu has 12K followers on X and calls himself oss/acc; the open-source code (used in 3000+ projects on GitHub) is also an acquisition entry point. Existing users stay subscribed for a long time because live updates are a service that runs every day.
