- 💰 Revenue: Modest — $3K - $7K/mo · MID tier · medium confidence, trajectory unclear.
- ⭐ Quality: 4.31★ across 283 reviews — below category median.

- ⚠️ Risk: High — 4.0% refund mentions, bug mentions above category norm, rating drift -1.63 ★ (recent 50 vs lifetime).
🎯 For competitors: Vulnerable. Quality drift + slow updates create a clear opening for a fresh competitor with active dev cadence.
💵 For acquirers: Estimated asking range 12-22× monthly = $60K-$110K. Portfolio play ($95K/mo combined) commands premium. Discount applied for operational risk..
