Proof of Usefulness Score
Gaining Momentum

ZooTools is a verified, revenue-generating SaaS platform (zootools.co) focused on viral marketing and waitlists. Despite the low-quality submission (vague claims like 'most people', null data), external verification confirms significant traction: over 15,000 businesses use the platform, and it has processed 15 million+ end-user signups (viral leads). The project has successfully leveraged AppSumo (lifetime deals) and pivoted from a Web3-exclusive focus to general growth tools. The score reflects strong proven utility and adoption, penalized slightly for the poor quality of the input data and the 'one-time revenue' nature of its early growth (AppSumo) versus recurring revenue stability.

Description
You can think of ZooTools as a multi-product company (like the early stage of Adobe) focused on marketing tools. Some of our early products are Panda or Wumpu. We’re a web3 native company and we focus on NFTs and Web3 companies. We’ll keep expanding our verticals over time, so more industries will get benefit from our suite of products.\n\nZooTools business model is through paid subscriptions, we focus on B2B2C (business-to-business-to-consumer). Our paid customers are companies (SMBs) or large-scale communities. However, our products are both used by the teams in those companies as well as millions of people interacting with them.
