Startups that dropped self-serve sign-up for book-a-demo

In Q4 2026 (to 10 November 2026), 4 startups dropped their free sign-up and now ask visitors to book a demo, out of 1,797 with at least two captures in the archive that quarter. These are observations in the archive, not a market-wide rate. Coverage differs by quarter.

What counts

The homepage had a free sign-up or trial button at the previous check and now only offers a demo. A change counts in a quarter only when both checks it lies between fall in that quarter; the share is out of the startups with at least two visible captures in that quarter. Two captures do not guarantee a usable comparison, and observation frequency varies. Method.

555 observations cannot be allocated to a quarter. Inspect their date ranges. Zero counted changes does not establish that nothing changed.

These changes happened between two checks in different quarters, or were already showing at the first check, so they are not counted in any quarter above.
