Executive Summary

Many creators and small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) — roughly 60 million globally — routinely lose hours or entire content histories when they experiment with alternative social platforms, rebrand, or need to consolidate multiple accounts. The problem is operational and reputational: manual migration is error-prone, platforms have different post formats and media handling, and businesses risk inconsistent branding and follower attrition when they cannot move profiles and archives reliably. You could build a profile-and-content import service that authenticates accounts, exports structured metadata and media, transforms and maps posts to target platform schemas, deduplicates and stages content for review, and then imports or publishes to destination accounts. Core features would include first-party API integrations (X, Instagram, TikTok), federated protocol adapters (Mastodon, Bluesky), robust media handling and transformation rules, a low-friction UX for non-technical users, and enterprise controls for agencies and teams; monetization could mix subscription and per-migration fees targeting a $200 ARPU/year on addressable customers. Technical and legal realities — API rate limits, platform TOS, GDPR/CCPA portability requirements, and storage/security obligations — will shape architecture and go-to-market. This is an attractive moment: I estimate a $12.0B market when you multiply 60M creators and SMBs by a $200 ARPU/year, regulation and consumer demand are increasing emphasis on data portability, and growing federated-alternative platform usage is driving churn and multi-account behavior. Market score and revenue potential indicators (90/100 and 78/100 respectively) suggest a large, reachable opportunity with clear willingness to pay for time-saving automation. To stand out you must prioritize reliable, fidelity-preserving transformations, best-in-class legal compliance and security, and deep integrations that reduce manual edge cases — not just a bulk-export CSV tool. The strengths are clear demand and quantifiable ARPU, but expect sustained engineering and legal work to maintain integrations, navigate platform policies, and win trust; competition is medium and partnerships with platforms or agencies will materially reduce friction and accelerate adoption.

Market Opportunity
