Competitor Signal
What developers say about the tools you compete with.
Competitor Signal tracks public developer posts about the tools you compete with and sorts them into what people like, what they dislike, and who is comparing or switching. It gives technical marketing and sales the words developers use, not a sentiment score.

What you see
One card per competitor, with the source behind every line.
Likes, dislikes, switching
Three lists per competitor, each item sourced to the original post, plus a running comparison count.
Agent choices
Once Agent Signal is connected, how often coding agents chose that competitor over your product.
How it works
How a post becomes a like or a dislike.
EarShots reads the post and extracts the specific claim, such as "pricing doubled" or "docs are better". Claims are grouped by meaning, not by keyword, so five phrasings of one complaint show once. Rival counts follow the plan: 3 on Starter, 5 on Growth, 15 on Enterprise, read over a 120 day window.
