Updated · How TGGET measures a niche
Verdict · confidence: medium
Decision: No. The video maker market is dominated by giants (CapCut, Canva) with 70% share of top apps. Search SERPs are closed (0 weak out of 3 checked), and CPC ($3.89) is high. While demand is high (14,800), the barrier to entry is too steep for a new entrant without significant capital or unique IP.

| Demand | 14,800 searches a month | high | +1 |
| Change over a year | 0% over a year | stable | 0 |

| Search results | 0 of 3 checked search results are weak, 1 strong | taken | -1 |
| Paid traffic | $3.89 a click, people pay in this niche | medium | 0 |

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 2026-09-27T17:47:49+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.
No, the numbers argue against it. TGGET scored “video maker” -2 on a scale from -6 to +5. In its favour: demand is high. Against it: the app stores are held by giants, search results are held by strong sites. The verdict is “No niche”.
TGGET measured 14,800 monthly searches for “video maker” in the United States in September 2026. Search interest is about stable: +0% over a year.
0 of 3 checked search results are weak and 1 are strong. 44 competing apps were found in the App Store; 31 of them have more than 10,000 ratings, and the median app has 33,779 ratings.
A click in paid search costs about $3.89, 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.
