Use BackerTracker when…
You want a projection of where a campaign will land, or a quick comparison of funding progress across projects.
Compare
KickFocus vs BackerTracker.
BackerTracker focuses on the funding line. KickFocus reads what backers write and what the page promises — the two things you can still fix while a campaign is live.
Same campaign, different question.
Projections answer “where will it land?” Comments and the product page answer “why, and what do we change?”
| BackerTracker | KickFocus | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A campaign tracker focused on funding progress and projections | A Chrome extension that reads comments, the product page and the curve |
| Where it runs | On the web | On the Kickstarter project page you are already looking at |
| Comment thread | Not the focus | Groups every comment into themes and unanswered questions |
| Product page | Not the focus | Audits selling points, missing specs and fixes |
| Funding curve | Yes — its core | Yes — alongside the comment and product analysis |
| Break-even math | Not the focus | Fees, unit cost, ad spend and the funding you need |
| Best moment | After launch, to track and project | Before launch and during — when you can still change the page |

When to use which.
Use KickFocus when…
You need the questions backers are asking, the gaps in the product page, and whether the unit economics work at your costs.
Use both when…
You want the projection and the reasons behind it. The curve is one tab in the extension; the comments and product audit sit next to it.
Read the comments before the projection matters.
Install the extension, open a campaign, and see what backers are actually asking.
