@ishwarjha That's so kind, Ishwar - and yes, you can rest assured that part of the simplicity of our platform is the fact we've curated all the data to not only ensure its efficacy, but also its compliance.
Hey Product Hunt 👊
I'm Sam, founder of Almanac. I'm super excited to share something we've been working on.

Our story
Since personally opening a coffee shop, it was clear that for brick and mortar, predicting trade, trends, and consumer behavior would help save money, improve marketing, and get more customers.
We're making Almanac free through Jan 2021 to help product hunt users smash the holiday season.
@samamrani This is a pretty interesting tool, have you had a lot of engagement/interest so far?
@samamrani @caelin_sutch
Hey Caelin, thanks for the question. So far we have launched this product in the US only.
We have had some traction in the US market, but we are still looking for new power users to test the product.
We'd love it if you could join un and help us perfect this product 👍
@samamrani this looks so interesting! Congrats! Are there any requirements for the free access on January?
@samamrani @andres_cardelus thanks! Feel free to sign up using the link above and you'll get 3 months free. Let us know if you have any issues!
@samamrani @caelin_sutch Hey Caelin! Yes, we're really excited that we're seeing engagement not just from retailers, but also from shopper marketing companies, real estate (CRE) businesses and researchers - even from academia! We're thrilled that this platform is helping and providing utility to such a wide variety of customers!
What kind of consumer behavior can this predict? Something like seasonal changes?
You have a spelling issue on a few pages (milion -> million)
https://app.pagewatch.dev/3cb999...
@lpellis hey loftie, we look at factors such as how footfall is impacted by weather, events and demographic change, and we of course evaluate seasonality and trend as part of our model. Thanks for that spelling correction. How silly of us! 🤦♂️
man.. I work with various AI engines all day.. this took some serious coding on the back end. someone did their homework. I would advise to have a free plan to allow people to see the value in this and allow them to put this data to use on their own website. If you throw the pay wall up at this point word will not spread.
@nick_mavridis have you been spying on our meetings, Nick? 😛 We plan to offer a number of tiers from next year, including a free one so people can get in at the ground floor to see our platform in action! Until now, please do use the 3 months free!
Hey! Looks good - how does the pricing work? Is priced per seat or do you get a certain amount included in the price?
@elliottpoulter Hey Elliott, thanks for the question.
You currently get 5 seats with each account. Hope that helps.
Have a great day!
This looks awesome! Out of curiosity, what geographies do you support and is the fixed pricing based on access to certain countries / regions or is it volume-based?
@martin_sahlen Thanks for the question Martin.
At the moment we offer a single tier for unlimited access to the US.
In 2021, as we expand to new markets we will change our pricing to include a free tier with limited access 👌
Congrats! How does this compare to some of your huge competitors like Datamaran?
@jamesskarzynski Hey James - great question. Whilst Datamaran focusses on ESG - mainly keeping business compliant and ahead of the strategic, regulatory and repetitional risks they may face, Almanac is there to help all businesses - big and small understand who their customers are, and where they're going to be. We focus far more on the geospatial elements of what makes people move and why. Please don't hesitate to reach out, and give the platform a try! 🤝
It looks great! @samamrani can you tell how much time/coding will it take to translate it to IT/Tech business? We'd really love to predict our customer behaviour, and I don't really see any tool to do so. Like a product-market fit pre-test software, if that makes sense? Maybe someone else knows?
Hey! It sounds interesting! What do you think is this suitable for startups?
@zizzzu Hey Tatyana, thanks for getting in touch.
Absolutely, we built Almanac to work for businesses of all size, especially smaller outlets, to help level the playing-field! 💪
@aris_alexis Hey Aris, thanks for your question.
The BETA version of the API will be available in 2021. Sign up for our newsletter to get alerted of new product releases! 🚀
@sharonknox we've been thrilled by some of the trends our platform have exposed. Links between different types of store, understanding daily competitor analysis and accurately forecasting footfall being a few of the key tools our platform can showcase.
Such a simple and clean approach to predict consumer behavior! Feels like this needed to exist years ago!!
@frankevans7 Hey Frank! We love your thinking.
We certainly thought so when we opened up a coffee shop back in 2017. That's why we built this!
Hopefully other real-world businesses can use Almanac to compete and grow in these challenging times 💪
@marta_rivera No, nuestra finalidad es que cualquier persona que quiera tener acceso no encuentre ninguna dificultad para entender y obtener la información.
De todas formas, nuestro equipo estará siempre disponible para ayudarte si tienes alguna duda! 🙌
@bec_gray Hey Bec, we have historical views that go back 3 years.
Or 2 months into the future, if that's what floats your boat! 🚣♂️
@pedro_italo Hey Pedro, thanks for your question.
We are currently offering this in the US and we're looking to bring it to some more select markets in 2021. Keep an eye on our website and newsletter to see what those are. 🙌
@pablo_gomez_perez Hey Pablo. We split our analysis by what we call metropolitan areas.
We have 75 of these in the US. You can drill down further into over 21,000 neighborhoods depending on how granular you want to go.
@alfonso_garcia_de_corral Hey! Almanac leverages over 1bn daily datapoints (including geospatial, weather, news, and demographic) 🌏
@rogrenke Thanks for your support Roland!
Feel free to hit us up if you have any questions 😸
