💰 Revenue: Modest — $989 - $6182/mo · INDIE tier · medium confidence, trajectory unclear.
⭐ Quality: 4.81★ across 1,555 reviews — strong (top 10%).
📍 Market: Not yet charting in any of the 9 monitored markets.
📈 Growth: last update 226d ago — slow cadence.
⚠️ 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 = $44K-$79K. Portfolio play ($9K/mo combined) commands premium.
