- 💰 Revenue: Modest — $3K - $7K/mo · MID tier · medium confidence, trajectory unclear.
- ⭐ Quality: 4.43★ across 242 reviews — below category median.

- ⚠️ Risk: Elevated — rating drift -1.25 ★ (recent 50 vs lifetime), dormant (4154d since update).
🎯 For competitors: Vulnerable. Quality drift + slow updates create a clear opening for a fresh competitor with active dev cadence.
