USE CASE:
SaaS companies and the company size problem
This page is about company size for SaaS companies: the options you actually have, what each one costs, and which one we would pick. Mamba Labs builds Apify actors, and Website Traffic Rank Estimator is the one named below that covers SaaS companies.
The situation
SaaS companies and company size: the answer is public, scattered, and nobody has time to collect it. Any company size method has to survive this: SaaS companies sell to other businesses and publish almost nothing about their own numbers. One thing company size on SaaS companies rarely accounts for: headcount flatters them, because contractors and alumni linger on a company page for years. We keep 1 preconfigured task for company size on SaaS companies, across 1 tool.
Why it matters
Headcount is missing or wrong on a third of any list of the SaaS companies you buy, and revenue is worse.
Traditional Search Tools
- G2, for SaaS companies. Categories and review counts, free to read, and it only covers vendors that asked to be listed.
- SimilarWeb or Semrush. Traffic estimates with a real methodology behind them, and a subscription. Accurate enough at the top of the market and increasingly speculative in the tail.
- LinkedIn headcount. Free and directionally useful. It counts profiles, not employees, so it flatters technology companies and undercounts everyone else.
- Their own numbers. About pages, annual reports, press releases. Self reported and usually the most accurate thing available.
- Look at the site. Careers page, customer logos, whether there is a pricing page at all. Two minutes and a person reads this far better than a rank does.
