Competitors that advertise public pricing or trials may reduce acquisition friction for small firms. - Market share and adoption trends - Public industry surveys indicate Suralink has a presence among portals used by accounting firms, including use in assurance contexts. Market-share reporting from polls and surveys reflects distribution across many competing portal and DMS options.
