We used vendor pricing captured October 5, 2026, distinguishing annual billing, commitments, seats, contacts and additional charges.
We checked integration direction, plan requirements and exclusions that can create duplicate entry.
We considered published review themes alongside platform-wide ratings, which are not limited to U.S. contractor owners.
We distinguished completed-job revenue from influenced revenue when assessing campaign attribution.
