See how Tractio analyzes real brands

The channel graveyard is real.

67% of early-stage founders pick a channel based on vibes, not data β€” and spend 6+ months learning that lesson.
18+ distinct marketing channels exist. Each has its own playbook, tooling, and community. Picking wrong is expensive.
2–3 channels will be the right fit for your product at any given stage. The rest are distractions.

The diagnostic works in 5 steps.

01

Tell us your product

SaaS, e-commerce, marketplace, developer tool, or course? We classify by type, not vibe.

02

Define your audience

Who exactly are you selling to? Precision matters β€” 'developers' and 'enterprise buyers' have nothing in common.

03

Set your pricing

Freemium, low-ticket, mid-market, or high-ticket. Pricing determines which channels are even viable.

Every channel a founder considers.
Scored for your product.

The best marketing channel is the one your product is built for. Everything else is noise.

Signal-based scoring

We don't score on gut. Each channel gets a base score plus signal bonuses for product type, audience fit, pricing model, and business stage.

Stage-aware recommendations

A channel that's perfect for seed-stage might be actively harmful for Series B. We adjust for where you are, not where you want to be.

No fluff, no filler

We score 18 channels but only recommend 2–3. If a channel isn't a strong fit, we say so β€” and tell you why.

Stop testing. Start scoring.

The diagnostic takes 90 seconds. You'll leave with a ranked scorecard and a clear set of next steps.

No signup. No email. Free forever.
