Our take

While market insights are crucial for businesses seeking an edge over the competition, generating these insights in-house can be an expensive and time-consuming process, often leading to delays and unactionable data. This is why many companies outsource to market intelligence companies like Crayon.

Crayon offers a platform that provides real-time competitive insights, allowing its customers to track, understand, and react to market changes. The platform is used by thousands of users across hundreds of companies, including large enterprises such as Dropbox, Spotify, and Zendesk.

The company is seen as a main player in the competitive intelligence tools market, predicted to be worth $82 billion by 2027, alongside rivals such as Kompyte, Klue, and Digimind. Funds raised by Crayon have enabled it to grow its customer base which gives it a sharper competitive edge in an increasingly crowded market..
