Worth The Spot
Know how saturated a NYC block is before you open there
Worth The Spot maps competitive density for specific business types across NYC neighborhoods — gyms, daycares, coworking spaces, car washes, barbershops, and more. Instead of a directory of pins, it renders a hex-grid density map (H3, ~350m cells) so you can click any corner and get a Spot Score: how many competitors are within walking distance, chain vs. independent breakdown, peak hours, and AI-summarized reviews. Built from real Google Maps data across all five boroughs. Free to use.
Hey PH 👋
I built this because every time I looked into opening a business in NYC, the data was either a paid market research report or a plain map of pins with no real density signal.
Worth The Spot uses a hex-grid (H3) to actually measure saturation — click any corner and see how many competitors are within a 5/10/15-min walk, whether the area is chain-dominated or independent, and what reviewers actually complain about.
Seven categories live now across all five boroughs, all free. Would love feedback on which category or city to add next — daycare is already in the pipeline.
