💰 Revenue: Modest — $1K - $7K/mo · INDIE tier · medium confidence, trajectory unclear.
⭐ Quality: 4.35★ across 125 reviews — solid.
📍 Market: Not yet charting in any of the 9 monitored markets.
📈 Growth: ⚠ last update 2091d ago — possibly dormant.
⚠️ Risk: Moderate — dormant (2091d 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 = $57K-$102K. Portfolio play ($22K/mo combined) commands premium.
