A tick means our dataset holds a value the platform publishes itself, read from its own page on the date its citation carries. A cell reading "Not in our dataset" is a statement about our records, not about the company: it does not mean the platform publishes nothing.

The comparison ends here; this is our own data. Most articles comparing Lemon.io quote prices that go stale. These numbers come from Flexiple's talent graph: real pool sizes and median salaries for remote engineers in India, refreshed with every site update.
