+556
Proof of Usefulness Score
Industry Mainstay

Appvizer is a mature, high-utility B2B software discovery platform with verified significant scale (acquired by Softonic in 2024, ~125 employees, ~2M monthly visitors). While the project itself is established and successful, the submission quality was extremely poor (vague claims like 'most people have used my product'), which heavily penalized the Traction and Response Quality scores. The final score reflects its verified market position adjusted down for the lack of direct evidence in the application.
