Cause of death: the autopsy

The size was real (17,075,033 active MEIs), but the official invoicing app is free, the top searches ask for a free invoicing tool, and a bill to repeal the rule was pending. The report said 'there is demand, but people won't pay' and scored it 17/25.

The numbers

None. It was never built, so there are no visitors, sales or ad spend to count. It died on paper, which is the cheapest place to die.

Could rise again if

The report left no way back.
