💰 Revenue: Modest — $7K - $15K/mo · MID tier · medium confidence, trajectory unclear.
⭐ Quality: 4.3★ across 2,888 reviews — strong (top 10%).
📍 Market: Not yet charting in any of the 9 monitored markets.
📈 Growth: ⚠ last update 434d ago — possibly dormant.
⚠️ Risk: Moderate — dormant (434d since update).

🎯 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 = $182K-$325K. Portfolio play ($40K/mo combined) commands premium.
