1% of 500K followers“even 1% seems potentially high to me, particularly if it means paid subscribers”

What the numbers suggest

5 rivals shipping (fact bar) see prices → market is crowded; differentiate on the unmet requirements above, don't compete on breadth.
9 requests from 9 different people (fact bar) see posts → demand is independently reported, not one person repeating themselves.
8 new tracked posts (all types) in the last 30 days vs 7 the month before see the curve → demand is rising.
9 demand signals vs 5 shipping rivals → demand and supply are balanced — differentiation decides.
0 willingness-to-pay quotes yetno one has named a price — validate pricing before building.
