Apple shipped Family Pause yesterday. Reviewers read it as catching up. Three months behind Freedom’s Locked Mode, and the press already says so.
ACT TODAY
Apple won’t call itself strict in marketing. Freedom did, and the “draconian but effective” review shape is on the table. Room for a product that owns the commitment angle out loud.

Q01What is RivalFed?+−
A daily marketing brief anchored to your rivals. You add your competitors, and we watch them plus the category they play in: X, news, Reddit, Hacker News, and Product Hunt. Every morning a quick AI brief you can read in two minutes. Every Monday a strategic SWOT on each rival. Between those, intraday breaking alerts when a rival does something urgent.
Q02How much does it cost?+−
Free trial for 14 days, no credit card required. After that, Pro is $9.99/month (5 rivals, breaking alerts checked every 3 hours) or Team is $24.99/month (10 rivals, breaking alerts checked every hour). Both include the daily brief and weekly SWOT. Cancel anytime.
Q03What does "updates every hour" actually mean?+−
It's how often we check your rivals for something worth flagging, not how often you get an email. Most checks find nothing and stay silent. When a rival signal crosses the relevance threshold, a compact breaking alert lands in your inbox. Capped at 3 per day so you never get spammed.
Q04What data sources do you monitor?+−
Rivals: X posts, mentions, Google News. Category: trending X posts, Google News, Reddit, Hacker News, and Product Hunt launches matched to your keywords. Every item links directly to the source.
Q05How is this different from Google Alerts?+−
Google Alerts is a graveyard of raw links. RivalFed scores every item across rival and category axes, pulls from X, news, Reddit, Hacker News, and Product Hunt, summarizes what matters into a quick daily brief you can read in two minutes plus a weekly SWOT, and pings you intraday only when something actually breaks.
Q06Who is RivalFed for?+−
Founders tracking their space, and indie hackers who want signal without scrolling X all day.
