Hostme (hostmeapp.com) is a verifiable, established restaurant reservation and management platform operating globally since 2014. External validation confirms significant traction (3M+ monthly bookings, presence in 47 countries, 4+ star reviews on G2/Capterra), positioning it as a strong competitor in the hospitality SaaS market. However, the project submission itself was of extremely low quality, containing vague claims ('everyone', 'most people have used my product') and missing critical data points. Consequently, while the project's real-world utility and verified traction drive a comparable score to established brands, the final PoU is heavily penalized by the lack of evidence and effort in the submission, resulting in a score in the 250-400 'comparable scale' range rather than the 500+ its metrics might otherwise justify.
