Caveats

  • Describes Whirrwork's dataset, compiled from public sources. It is not a census of the whole market.
  • Small sample: 24 jobs. Compares prices in the same currency and unit only.
  • Spreads partly reflect different job sizes and specifications, not only different providers.

Computed from dataset release 2026-10 by the Whirrwork build (scripts/build.mjs, src/lib/research.js).
