- 💰 Revenue: Modest — $495 - $3096/mo · INDIE tier · medium confidence, trajectory unclear.
- ⭐ Quality: 4.5★ across 40 reviews — weak — significant quality concerns.
- 📍 Market: Not yet charting in any of the 9 monitored markets.
- 📈 Growth: dev shipping weekly.
- ⚠️ Risk: Low — no material risk signals detected.
🎯 For competitors: Mixed picture. Worth competing if you have a clear UX or pricing edge — otherwise crowded segment.
💵 For acquirers: Estimated asking range 18-32× monthly = $22K-$39K. Portfolio play ($27K/mo combined) commands premium.

📝 About this app
Olvid is the first private instant messaging application for everyone.
What is a "private" messenger?
It's a messenger:
- That does not push new contacts on you. You are in control: you choose who you want to discuss with. Olvid offers several ways to invite other Olvid users, either face-to-face or remotely.
- That does not require any personal data. Olvid won't ask for your phone number, for your email. Unlike your previous messenger, Olvid will never request access to your address book.
- On which you will never receive unsolicited messages or messages from an unknown source.… View full description on the official store →
