Partial score

9/19 signals

Why this score

Not enough measured signals for Owner-safe, and the score is outside the Needs-a-techie band. Captured 2026-10-15. Unmeasured signals add nothing and are not treated as failures.

Alive0.6/20
  • Last push. 0 points. GitHub pushed_at was 795 days before 2026-10-15.
  • Releases in 12 months. 0.6 points. 0 tagged releases in the last 12 months, from the public releases feed.
  • How fast issues close. Not measured. Median issue-close time is not in the seed snapshot, so this signal is omitted.
Trusted1.8/20
  • OpenSSF Scorecard. Not measured. No Scorecard result in the snapshot.
  • Open critical or high vulnerabilities. Not measured. Open vulnerability counts were not fetched. We do not assume zero.
  • Contributors in 90 days. Not measured. 90-day contributor counts were not fetched.
  • Bus factor. Not measured. Contributor share was not fetched.
  • Stars. 1.8 points. 8,353 stars, log-scaled and capped at 20,000.
Takeoverable11.7/25
  • Licence. 6 points. Licence class network copyleft.
  • Stack. 3.8 points. PHP. TypeScript, JavaScript, Python, Go, PHP, and Vue score as widely hireable.
  • Tests and CI. 1.9 points. A CI workflow file was found. A test suite was not separately confirmed, so this signal scores half.
  • Docs quality. Not measured. Docs quality is an LLM rubric. v1 does not invent that score.
  • Data export. Not measured. Data-export was not audited app by app, so it is omitted.
Easy to run9/20
  • One-click deploy. Not measured. No one-click host was verified for this app, so the signal is omitted rather than scored as a failure.
  • Managed cloud or done-for-you. 5 points. SeatLess offers done-for-you setup. A vendor cloud, where listed, is the vendor’s own hosting, not a licence you own.
  • Docker Compose. 4 points. A Dockerfile or Compose file is in the repository.
  • Memory needs. Not measured. Memory needs were not measured.
  • Setup steps. Not measured. Setup-step rubric was not run.
Feature fit11.3/15
  • Coverage of the incumbent’s main jobs. 11.3 points. Editorial reading of public docs. Not a certified feature audit. Unknown jobs are left out of the average.

What it replaces

Crater is an AGPL-3.0 invoicing app with Docker Compose. The public feed’s last tagged release is 6 Mar 2022. The repository was still pushed in August 2024, and it is not marked archived. InvoiceShelf started as a maintained fork. Prefer the fork unless you have a reason to stay.

Feature coverage vs FreshBooks

Editorial, from public descriptions. A dash means we did not assess that job. This is not a lab test, and FreshBooks has not reviewed it.

Licence, in plain language

AGPL-3.0 Network copyleft

You can use, change, and run it. If you offer the software as a service, you share the changes you make. That is the usual Affero GPL bargain.

AGPL-3.0. Activity is stale: last tagged release 6 Mar 2022.
