Foot traffic · Field notes · Business inventory · Cost and profit estimates. One phone is all you need to research your next shop: count visitors, compare locations, estimate profit and share reports. Track progress in the background with Live Activities .
Finding out that foot traffic is weak after paying a transfer fee can be an expensive mistake. SpotPal turns impressions into comparable data.
How many people is “quite busy”? What changes on weekdays and weekends? Without numbers, rent and product decisions rely on guesses.
Photos in your album, phone numbers in your contacts, rent figures in your head. A few days later, comparing locations becomes difficult.
Deposits, advance rent, transfer fees, fit-out, equipment and stock: how much cash do you need, and when could you break even?
Use each tool independently or reuse data across tools. Record once, use it wherever it helps.
Tap to count passersby, entries and purchases. Record time and location, with large buttons, privacy mode, attributes, direction and Live Activities.
Save photos, location, phone numbers and rent in seconds. Fine-tune map pins and compare multiple candidates on a map.
Count nearby cafés, restaurants and other businesses as you walk. Review the mix and competitive density in a dedicated analysis page.
Enter revenue, gross margin, rent and staffing costs to estimate net profit, break-even revenue and orders. Work backwards from your target profit to the revenue you need.
Enter transfer fees, deposits, fit-out, equipment, stock and reserve funds. See store setup costs, total startup funds, daily fixed costs and break-even estimates.
Large tap areas, responsive feedback and haptics help you count quickly. Each tap enters the event queue; animations and screen refreshes do not control counting.
Observe 2–4 stores at once. When they share street traffic, count it once and record each store’s entries separately. Results are saved per store for later visits. Free users can observe up to 2 stores, with 5 new tasks shared by single- and two-store observation; Pro supports 3–4 stores.
Turn your observations into a report with key metrics, traffic trends and automatic interpretation. Export images or PDF to share with partners, landlords or your team.
Live Activities display elapsed time, entries, passersby, purchases and pause status. Check progress while taking a call or replying to a message.
Visit the same location several times to compare average traffic, weekdays and weekends, time periods and variation. Free users get 3 combined analyses in total; Pro has no usage quota.
Switch to A/B/C labels and hide store names and addresses. Multi-store observations use Store 1 / Store 2 codes so only you understand the counts.
No account required. Observations and notes are saved locally first. Photos and audio stay on your device; export important material for safekeeping.
Check location accuracy and drag the map to correct a drifting pin. System geocoding fills in the location address.
Protect sensitive location, rent and contact records with optional system authentication.
Start an observation or estimate from a location’s details. Rent and area are carried over automatically.
Observe for 45 minutes to measure passersby, entries and purchases instead of relying on how busy a street looks.
Record photos and locations, then compare rent and foot traffic across your candidates.
Verify claims about daily sales by observing foot traffic and entry rates on site.
Observe nearby competitors and revisit costs, prices and break-even estimates to identify possible changes.
