Proof of Usefulness Score
Category Standard

Spendgo is a highly successful customer engagement and loyalty platform founded in 2010 and acquired by Olo in December 2025, validating its significant real-world utility and market value. While the submission itself was low-effort (vague claims like 'everyone' and 'most people'), independent verification confirms widespread adoption by major enterprise clients (e.g., Jamba Juice, Cold Stone Creamery) and a successful exit. The low quality of the input data significantly reduced the Quality Factors, but the verified commercial success drives a high baseline score.
