- 1 vulnerable incumbent earns $10K+/mo (est.) with a rating under 4.0 — users are paying for products they dislike.
- The category is crowded: median openness is only 30/100, so expect strong incumbents and costly acquisition.
- Revenue is top-heavy: the top earner makes about 29× the median app ($53K vs $1.8K/mo, est.).
- 74 hidden gems rate 4.0+ with below-median traction — quality alone has not won distribution here.
