In 2014, Heyo was the darling of social media contests. Today, it’s a digital ghost ship. With just 5,138 monthly visits and a flat $0.5M revenue, this veteran platform is a case study in how fast the SaaS landscape moves when you stop moving with it.

"Heyo isn't building for the future of marketing; it's maintaining a relic from the Facebook Page tab era."

The technology stack tells a story of stagnation. While they use Vue.js and Tailwind CSS (modern choices), the reliance on jQuery and Bootstrap suggests a legacy codebase that hasn't been fully refactored. They are using Tawk.to for chat and Zendesk for support—standard tools for SMBs, but not indicative of a high-touch enterprise sales motion. The platform promises mobile and Facebook campaigns, yet the traffic data suggests they are losing the battle for attention against newer, TikTok-integrated tools.

• The 'Undefined' Traffic Crisis: Over half their traffic is unidentifiable, making marketing attribution impossible.
• The 'Customer Care' Trap: When users search for your phone number instead of your features, your UX is failing.
• Zombie Metrics: $2M in funding for a $0.5M run rate suggests an investor portfolio write-off rather than a growth stage company.
