Pain points worth investigating

The strongest pains found in real public discussions. Each one opens its full evidence report.

api integration problems
SteadyHigh pain

Inconsistent and Poorly Versioned API Design

Developers building integrations against APIs with fragmented versioning (e.g. mixing V1, V3, V4 endpoints for related operations) face significant friction, especially when core features like sorting, filtering, or key object associations lack consistent API support.

“If I need to fetch associations between objects I have to use their V4 associations API but if I want to fetch contact lists I need to use their V1 API, and to fetch contacts themselves I sometimes have to use a V1 API and sometimes a V3 API. Who is versioning all of this”

customer feedback tools
SteadyHigh pain

Fragmented feedback across too many channels with no unified view

A recurring and persistent pain — spanning 2019 through 2024 — is that user feedback arrives from dozens of disparate sources (social media, app stores, support chats, sales calls, Slack, surveys, etc.) and there is no single tool that consolidates, processes, and prioritizes it all. PMs and 'voice of customer' owners resort to manual spreadsheets or ad-hoc FAQs that nobody uses.

“I'm using a spreadsheet where I pull feedback from all these disparate channels. Was wondering if anyone had success with tools out there?”

crm data quality problems
SteadyHigh pain

Duplicate records created by manual/direct CRM data entry

When customer service reps or automated workflows enter data directly into the CRM (e.g., via Outlook or email-based pipelines), duplicates proliferate because there is no reliable deduplication at the point of entry. This makes the data unusable for reporting and customer service. Evidence spans 2013 and 2026, suggesting this is a persistent, long-standing pain.

“This last method creates lots of duplicates and makes it imposible to use this data for better customer service and reporting.”

customer churn reasons
SteadyHigh pain

Cancellation flows are either non-existent or adversarial, destroying trust

Most SaaS products either have no meaningful cancellation flow (missing the last chance to retain or learn from churning customers) or use dark patterns like multi-step exit mazes that generate chargebacks and brand damage rather than saving accounts.

“Your 5-step exit maze doesn't save accounts, it just creates chargebacks. A terrifying number of products bury their cancel button behind five menus.”
