The pricing here is ridiculous[1]. I honestly can't understand who the target market is here. What does NerdyData offer that I'm not going to be able to solve with something like Oloh or Github code search? What need does the product fill that's going to be worth $100+/month to me? I mean, I get things like "search for a specific GA account number" or "see how many websites use Twitter's embeds", but how does that contribute to my bottom line in a way that validates my paying for it?

I get the sense that there's a useful product here, but it feels like it's being marketed as a replacement for Google Code Search or something, which feels like the completely wrong tack. Selling it as a competitive intelligence tool might be easier to grok, but then why pitch it at developers?

I imagine they're planning on a pivot to Lifelock-like protection.

If I know who my competitors are, specifically, how hard is it to find their sites and view source (assuming I didn't set up shop copying their site and business model to begin with)? Chances are anything you can see on their frontend isn't what's giving them a competitive edge. I can't help but think that most of what's offered here isn't that difficult to come by.
