Use Kicktraq when…
You want a quick read on the funding trajectory, compare campaigns in a category, or keep an eye on a project after it closes.
Compare
KickFocus vs Kicktraq.
Kicktraq tracks the curve. KickFocus reads the comments and the product page while you can still change the outcome. Most creators use both — for different questions.
Same campaign, different question.
One asks “how is it trending?” The other asks “what are backers telling us, and what should change on the page?”
| Kicktraq | KickFocus | |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | A campaign tracker with daily funding data 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 compare campaigns | Before launch and during — when you can still change the page |

When to use which.
Use KickFocus when…
You are running or preparing a campaign and need to know what backers are asking, what the page is missing, and whether the math works at your costs.
Use both when…
You want the curve and the room. Open the project page with the extension installed; the curve is one tab, the comments and product audit are next to it.
Read the comments before the curve matters.
Install the extension, open a campaign, and see what backers are actually asking.
