💰 Revenue: Modest — $3K - $7K/mo · MID tier · medium confidence, trajectory unclear.
⭐ Quality: 3.98★ across 1,992 reviews — solid.
📍 Market: Not yet charting in any of the 9 monitored markets.
📈 Growth: last update 187d ago — slow cadence.
⚠️ Risk: Low — no material risk signals detected.

🎯 For competitors: Strong subscription moat. Hard to outcompete on retention. Better angle: free alternative with one-time purchase, or feature parity for an underserved sub-niche.

💵 For acquirers: Estimated asking range 18-32× monthly = $90K-$160K. Portfolio play ($17K/mo combined) commands premium.
