Key findings
- Price range for a medium dog is £40–70, with most salons at £45–58.
- Only one mobile competitor, and it does not work weekends and replies to bookings slowly. Three of its 12 most recent reviews mention waiting for a reply.
- Instant online booking is standard for salons; phone-only booking is now the exception.
- Weekend capacity is thin: only 2 of 10 competitors take bookings on Sundays.
Opportunities for Tidy Paws
- Position as "the salon that comes to you, including Saturdays", priced at £58–62, near the mobile competitor but with instant booking.
- Target owners of anxious or older dogs: 9 reviews across competitors mention stress from waiting rooms.
Honest limits
- Prices are list prices; discounts and size surcharges may differ in practice.
- Review counts reflect public listings on the dates checked, not total customers.
- No data on revenue or market share is publicly available for these businesses.
Client: Tidy Paws, a mobile dog-grooming van planning to launch in Ashford Vale (pop. ~85,000). Standard package: 10 competitors, 8 criteria. Excerpt below shows 6 of them.

About this service
Steam gets thousands of new games a year, and the question every indie developer should ask before a year of work is which games like theirs already exist and how they did. We research comparable titles in your genre on Steam and other stores you name: price, release date, tags, review count and score, what players praise and complain about, and what their store pages promise. You see whether the genre is crowded, what players are missing and how to frame your game so it stands out.
What is included
- What you getA comparison table of similar games with price, release date, tags, review count and score, player review themes, rough sales ranges from review counts marked as estimates, genre gaps and ideas for your store page, with a link and date for every source.

Questions and answers
How do you estimate sales without real numbers?
From the public review count, using the rough rule of thumb many developers use. It gives a range, not a figure, and we mark it as an estimate.
Can you see wishlist numbers?
No, wishlists are private to each developer. We can note follower counts where stores show them publicly.
Can you research console or mobile games too?
Yes, from their public store pages, though those stores show less data than Steam. We say what is missing.
