Updated · How TGGET measures a niche
Verdict · confidence: medium
Decision: maybe. Medium confidence. Demand is medium (3,600 searches) but declining (-34% YoY). Search is closed (0 weak SERPs). Stores are contested (high competition). Economics are average (CPC $6.09). The declining trend and closed search make entry risky, but the 'free no sign up' sub-niche offers a potential wedge.

The report was written by a language model from the collected research data and may be inaccurate; each recommendation cites its source, verify it against the raw data. Generated 2026-09-29T09:01:46+00:00.
Data: search demand, search results, the App Store, public-interest and developer community signals. The verdict is computed by rules from these numbers; the explanation and the plan are written by a language model. Both are evidence to check, not a promise.
There is demand, but not everything is in its favour. TGGET scored “ai animation generator” -2 on a scale from -6 to +5. Against it: interest is falling, search results are held by strong sites. The verdict is “Needs validation”.
TGGET measured 3,600 monthly searches for “ai animation generator” in the United States in September 2026. Search interest fell by 34% over a year.
0 of 2 checked search results are weak and 2 are strong. 46 competing apps were found in the App Store; 18 of them have more than 10,000 ratings, and the median app has 3,713 ratings.
A click in paid search costs about $6.09, and competitors in this niche charge for their products.
None of the phrases TGGET checked has weak search results, so there is no easy way in through search.
TGGET computes the verdict by rules from five measured factors: demand, its change over a year, competition in the app stores, the strength of the search results and the cost of paid traffic. Each factor adds or takes away points and the sum decides, so the same numbers always give the same answer. A language model writes the explanation and the plan; it does not choose the verdict.
