- 5 vulnerable incumbents earn $10K+/mo (est.) with ratings under 4.0 — users are paying for products they dislike.
- The category is crowded: median openness is only 38/100, so expect strong incumbents and costly acquisition.
- Revenue is top-heavy: the top earner makes about 63× the median app ($1M vs $16K/mo, est.).
- 64 hidden gems rate 4.0+ with below-median traction — quality alone has not won distribution here.
