How to read this

  • Capability counts show how many providers list a capability. A provider can list several, so percentages do not sum to 100.
  • Pricing transparency counts providers that publish a monthly range or minimum engagement on their profile. Unpublished pricing is not assumed.
  • Verification distinguishes platform-verified records (checked by our team against public sources) from provider-verified records (confirmed by the provider after claiming the profile). Unverified records are platform-created from public information and should be treated accordingly.

Methodology

Providers are added through manual research of public company websites, partner directories and public case studies, and through provider submissions reviewed by the platform team. Sample and placeholder records are excluded from public statistics. No figures in this report are estimates of the whole market; they describe the providers listed here.
