Cause of death: the autopsy

The logic was real: a bulk SMS costs ₦1-6 against about ₦9 for a WhatsApp utility message. But Termii, Sendchamp, Infobip, Yournotify and KudiSMS already sell SMS, WhatsApp and email in one account with fallback, and sending SMS needs a licensed aggregator. Scored 11/25.

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.
