Play-kurt
A technical user can build a useful local-game finder (create/list/join/search/rate) in a few months, but reproducing the product’s app-store polish, active user base, and partner relationships is not realistic as a drop-in replacement.

Not priced
No pricing page we fetched carried a figure, so there is nothing to compare against. The build side is still real.

No published price to break even against.
No open-source build does this yet
Nothing published replaces this one, so a replacement starts from an empty file. Here is what it would have to cover.
What a replacement has to do
- Users create/list local games, browse and join nearby games, invite friends, and rate players after matches.
What it still won’t have
- App-store distribution polish and review-handling
- Existing user base and network that surfaces local games
- Partnerships with sports centers and local marketplace reach
- Polished mobile UX, analytics, and moderation workflows
What remains hard
- Brand trust
Kurt is the go-to hub for connecting with all the players in town.
First-year cost

Runnable build prompt
Build a minimal clone of Play-Kurt: implement a React Native mobile app (or PWA) and Node.js (Express) backend with Postgres. Core features in scope: user auth (email + OAuth), CRUD for games (time, location, capacity, price, role), geolocation-based search and map view (Google Maps or OpenStreetMap), join/invite flows with push notifications, post-game ratings and simple per-player stats, and basic admin endpoints to manage games. Out of scope: payment processing, enterprise partnerships, advanced analytics, and large-scale matchmaking. Include input validation, error handling, unit tests for backend routes, and CI setup for deployments. Deliver Dockerfiles and terraform/Cloud Run (or Heroku) instructions for hosting.
How we checked
How the score was reached
- Partly verdict base52
- 3/3 assessment runs agreed+4
- Evidence score56
The base comes from the verdict. Everything under it is a check that either happened or did not, and each one is a fact frozen in this record rather than a judgement made at render time - so the same evidence always produces the same number.
