FAQ
Where do these numbers come from?
From Etsy's official Open API: the top 100 results and the total count for the search "mouse pad". Averages and rates are computed from that sample; nothing is scraped or guessed. Refreshed monthly.
How is the competition score calculated?
A logarithmic scale of the total listing count: 7,000 listings ≈ 77, 36,000 ≈ 91, 100,000 = 100. Under 80 is reachable for a new shop, over 92 is crowded. Read it with top-shop share and new-entrant rate — the verdict comes from all three.
