- π° Revenue: Marginal β $200 - $1250/mo Β· INDIE tier Β· medium confidence, trajectory unclear.

- π Growth: β last update 370d ago β possibly dormant.
- β οΈ Risk: Elevated β dormant (370d since update).
π― For competitors: Vulnerable. Quality drift + slow updates create a clear opening for a fresh competitor with active dev cadence.
π΅ For acquirers: Estimated asking range 18-32Γ monthly = $9K-$16K. Portfolio play ($1K/mo combined) commands premium.
