I don't think this necessarily signals the end of Matrix ITA. In fact, QPX Express and the Matrix are completely unrelated.

And, "QPX Express was a lower-touch way to let companies start experimenting with QPX without needing full on biz-dev contract cycles", per someone I know with some inside knowledge.

I used to use Matrix but stopped using it after finding that a lot of the time it doesn't actually catch certain deals available only on airline websites themselves. Now I'm back to individually searching every airline website.

It recently received a slight update and has been working better. My understanding is that developers are still actively monitoring it.
