Benchmark business metrics against competitors and industry standards to measure market position, performance gaps, and strengths.
Formula
Position and gap scores are weighted summaries of user-entered competitor measures

What is a competitive analysis calculator?
A competitive analysis calculator helps you benchmark your business metrics against industry averages and top performers, then translate those gaps into actionable priorities. It is useful when you want to understand whether you are winning because of efficiency (like lower CAC) or losing because of position (like low market share or weak differentiation).
How to use this calculator
Benchmark Comparison
- Select a Metric Type (conversion rate, CTR, ROAS, CAC, retention).
- Enter your metric, the industry average, and a top-performer benchmark.
- Use the percentile and improvement-needed values to set realistic targets.
Market Position
- Enter your Market Share, Growth Rate, and competitor context.
- Use relative share and growth advantage to understand whether you are gaining ground.
- Translate the suggested strategy into a quarterly focus (defend, attack, specialize).
Performance Gap
- Compare your revenue, CAC, and LTV against a key competitor.
- Use the LTV:CAC ratio gap to decide whether to focus on acquisition efficiency or retention/monetization.
Strength Analysis
- Score qualitative drivers (product, service, pricing, brand, innovation) consistently.
- Use strengths to clarify positioning, and weaknesses to define improvement projects.
Practical guidance
- Benchmark with comparable companies (business model, price point, channel mix).
- Use trailing 90-day or quarterly numbers to reduce noise.
- Pick 1–2 gaps to close at a time; focus beats broad “catch up” plans.
