Companies Using Q4

Q4 Usage Statistics

Q4 reads 995 domains on our June 2026 rollup, 1,175 in July and 1,395 in August. Three points cannot carry a growth rate, and this movement is coverage rather than adoption. The crawled domain set turns over every month, with dead domains dropping out and newly discovered ones coming in, and detection widens at the same time: the total number of domains seen carrying the Q4 signal moved from 995 to 1,186 to 1,424 across the same three months, running ahead of the active line in each of the last two. Read the points as three sightings of a population we can see progressively more of, not as a trend in sales. One caution belongs here more than on most profiles. Investor-relations sites sit behind bot protection unusually often, 7 of the 8 we opened by hand returned an interstitial rather than the page, so a month in which fewer of them let a fetch through would read as a smaller number on this chart without anything having changed at Q4. The August figure, 1,395, is the one quoted at the top of this page.

Which Countries Use Q4 the Most?

Which countries use Q4 the most? The United States holds 1,040 of the 1,258 companies we could place, 82.67%, with Canada second on 97, 7.71%. Together they are 1,137 companies, 90.38%. The rest of the table is a long thin tail: the United Kingdom 25 (1.99%), the Netherlands 7 (0.56%), Germany 6 (0.48%), India 6 (0.48%), Singapore 5 (0.40%), Ireland 5 (0.40%), Israel 5 (0.40%), Chile 5 (0.40%), Denmark 4 (0.32%), Switzerland 4 (0.32%), Bermuda 4 (0.32%), China 4 (0.32%) and Australia 3 (0.24%). This is a North American product serving issuers listed on the NYSE, NASDAQ and the TSX; Canada's 97 companies, 7.71% of the 1,258, are the TSX side of that. Bermuda at 4 companies, 0.32% of the 1,258, is the row worth pausing on. Offshore-domiciled issuers still list on North American exchanges and still file the same disclosures, so the domicile on a company record and the exchange the shares trade on are two different facts. Country here is the headquarters on the company record, not where the investor-relations team sits.

Q4 Market Share Among CRM

What is Q4's market share? Q4 holds 0.21% of CRM and ranks 27th of 100 in that category, on 1,395 domains. The five rows above it are Zoho on 439,582 domains and 65.12%, Salesforce on 73,302 (10.86%), vcita on 18,182 (2.69%), Bitrix24 on 15,719 (2.33%) and Microsoft Dynamics 365 on 12,976 (1.92%). Read that list and the problem states itself. Every one of the five is a customer relationship management system bought by a sales or service organisation. Q4 sells the website a listed company publishes its earnings release on, together with the shareholder targeting and analyst coverage layer behind it, and the person who signs for it runs investor relations. 0.21% of CRM is bookkeeping, not a market share. An investor-relations team is not shortlisting Zoho, and Salesforce is not competing for the contract. Q4's real rivals sell IR websites and IR intelligence, and our taxonomy has no bucket for that, so this technology sits on the nearest available shelf. TechnologyChecker.io publishes the rank because every profile carries one; this paragraph exists because the number on its own would mislead.

Q4 Customers by Company Size & Age

What size companies use Q4? The distribution is top-heavy. 650 of the 1,262 companies with a size band, 51.51%, employ 1,000 people or more, split across 1,001-5,000 at 283 (22.42%), 5,001-10,000 at 121 (9.59%) and 10,001+ at 246 (19.49%). Widen the threshold to 501 employees and it is 782 companies, 61.96%. The small end is thin next to that: 1-10 is 94 companies (7.45%) and 11-50 is 91 (7.21%), so 185 companies, 14.66%, employ 50 people or fewer. The middle holds 51-200 at 149 (11.81%), 201-500 at 146 (11.57%) and 501-1,000 at 132 (10.46%). The reason sits in the product rather than in the pricing. A company needs an investor-relations website once it has public investors, and a listing brings a disclosure calendar with it, so the population Q4 can sell into is bounded by the exchanges rather than by the addressable web, and listed companies skew large. The bottom two bands are not noise. A mining explorer or a clinical-stage biotechnology company can be listed, obliged to publish on schedule, and run on a dozen staff; Mining is 57 companies and Biotechnology Research 51 in the industry table below.

What Industries Use Q4 the Most?

Banking leads at 8.51% of the 1,246 companies with a recorded industry, 106 companies, with Financial Services second at 91, 7.30%, and Real Estate third at 74, 5.94%. Then Software Development 69 (5.54%), Oil and Gas 60 (4.82%), Mining 57 (4.57%), Biotechnology Research 51 (4.09%), Retail 40 (3.21%), Insurance 39 (3.13%) and Manufacturing 37 (2.97%). Group the labels that describe the same obligation and the shape appears. Banking, Financial Services and Insurance are 236 companies, 18.94% of the 1,246, and Oil and Gas plus Mining are 117 companies, 9.39%. Add Real Estate at 5.94% and those five labels reach 310 companies, 24.88%, a quarter of the industry-matched base. These are the sectors carrying the heaviest disclosure load: banks and insurers reporting under prudential and securities rules, real estate trusts publishing portfolio and distribution detail, resource issuers reporting reserves, and biotechnology companies announcing trial milestones. Software Development at 69 companies, 5.54%, is the one label in the top five not defined by a reporting regime.

Regulated finance using Q4 is the largest block on this page: Banking 106, Financial Services 91 and Insurance 39 come to 236 of the 1,246 companies with a recorded industry, 18.94%. Resource issuers are second, Oil and Gas 60 plus Mining 57, 117 companies, 9.39%. Real Estate adds 74, 5.94%, and inside a base of listed companies that label mostly means real estate investment trusts rather than brokerages. What these sectors share is not a technology preference. It is a filing calendar with dates on it and a regulator attached.

The named table reaches the same conclusion through a completely different column. 45 of the 50 named detections sit on an investor, shareholder or ir subdomain: investors.cognizant.com, investor.starbucks.com, shareholder.ford.com, investors.boeing.com, investors.pfizer.com, investors.cvshealth.com, investor.hp.com, investors.adp.com, investor.uber.com and www.investor.jnj.com. The other five sit on a newsroom host or an apex, albertsonscompanies.com among them, so the pattern is strong rather than absolute. 49 of the 50 carry a Public Company type on their company record, and company type and industry are separate fields that could disagree and do not. Two record caveats before reading any row too closely. Industry sits on the company record rather than on the site, which is why HCA Healthcare, Johnson & Johnson and CVS Health all file under Hospitals and Health Care despite being a hospital operator, a pharmaceutical and device group and a pharmacy and benefits group. And an industry label describes the issuer, not the investor-relations site, so Retail at 40 companies, 3.21%, is counting retailers with shareholders rather than anything retail about the deployment.

Q4 Alternatives & Competitors

This table lists the five largest technologies in the same taxonomy bucket, not the five products a Q4 buyer shortlists. Zoho on 439,582 domains and 65.12%, Salesforce on 73,302 (10.86%), vcita on 18,182 (2.69%), Bitrix24 on 15,719 (2.33%) and Microsoft Dynamics 365 on 12,976 (1.92%) are customer relationship management systems, bought by sales and service organisations to track pipeline and tickets. Q4 builds and hosts the website on which a listed company publishes its results, and sells the shareholder targeting and analyst coverage tooling that sits behind it. Different product, different budget, different buyer. An investor-relations team evaluating a website vendor is not putting Zoho on the shortlist. We file Q4 under CRM because that is the closest shelf our taxonomy currently has; the category Q4 actually competes in, investor-relations websites and IR intelligence, does not exist here yet. Read the rank of 27 of 100 as a position in a filing system rather than as a competitive set.

There is no switching or migration table on this page, and that is a decision rather than a gap. Only 52 domains have stopped showing Q4 since we began tracking in March 2026, 3.5% of the 1,490 we have ever seen, so there is very little to explain in the first place. We ran the destination query against all 99 other technologies in CRM, and the largest single destination was 5 domains, to Salesforce, which is not an investor-relations website product and therefore cannot be what those domains moved to. Five rows out of 52 is what sorting noise looks like, not a corridor. Nothing cleared its own base rate among Q4's live domains, so we publish nothing here rather than dress up a handful of rows as a trend.

Technology	Domains	Market Share
Zoho	439,582	65.12%
Salesforce	73,302	10.86%
vcita	18,182	2.69%
Bitrix24	15,719	2.33%
Microsoft Dynamics 365	12,976	1.92%

Tech Stack of Q4-Powered Websites

Every percentage in this table divides by the 1,449 domains our live crawl currently answers for Q4, which is a different base from the 1,395 in the August rollup at the top of the page. That is why several counts below are larger than the headline. No row here is a share of 1,395.

Start with the group labelled Hosted Platform Fingerprint, because it settles what kind of technology this is. Moment.js is on 1,446 of the 1,449 domains, 99.79%; jQuery on 1,446 of the 1,449 domains, 99.79%; jQuery UI on 1,441 of the 1,449 domains, 99.45%; Cloudflare on 1,444 of the 1,449 domains, 99.65%; and FancyBox on 1,431 of the 1,449 domains, 98.76%. Four unrelated layers, a date library, a DOM library, a widget toolkit and a lightbox, all landing within about a point of total. That is not 1,446 companies each picking Moment.js. That is one build shipped by one vendor to every tenant, and the DNS check says the same thing from outside the page: 8 of 10 sampled investor-relations subdomains CNAME into Q4's own hosting farm. Read this group as a description of Q4's front end, not of its customers' engineering decisions.

The analytics group carries the same finding somewhere less obvious. Google Analytics is on 1,105 of the 1,449 domains, 76.26%, which is unremarkable. Snowplow Analytics is on 1,082 of the 1,449 domains, 74.67%, which is not. Snowplow holds 2.23% of our entire Web Analytics category, so a tool that is rare across the web at large does not arrive on three quarters of one vendor's base by customer choice. Q4's platform ships it. The rest of the group looks like tenant tagging and is much thinner: Cloudflare Browser Insights 115 of 1,449 (7.94%), Adobe Analytics 78 (5.38%), Matomo 47 (3.24%) and Siteimprove 29 (2.00%). The practical consequence is that anyone reading this table as an analytics buying signal would be prospecting Q4, not the issuer.

Consent and privacy is where tenant choice does show. OneTrust is on 415 of the 1,449 domains (28.64%), CookieYes 101 (6.97%), Cookie Control 59 (4.07%), Cookiebot 58 (4.00%), Osano 39 (2.69%) and TrustArc 34 (2.35%), 706 of the 1,449 domains between the six, 48.72%. OneTrust at 28.64% is high for any base and fits this one: a listed company runs a formal privacy programme with a named owner and a budget line. Unlike the fingerprint group, these six split the base rather than one of them taking almost all of it, which is the signature of six vendors being chosen rather than one vendor being shipped.

Content delivery closes the picture: jsDelivr on 422 of the 1,449 domains (29.12%), cdnjs 338 (23.33%), Amazon CloudFront 209 (14.42%) and Google Hosted Libraries 138 (9.52%). Public JavaScript mirrors on roughly a quarter to a third of the 1,449, sitting alongside a Cloudflare reading of 1,444 of the 1,449 domains, 99.65%, describe a platform that serves its own core through one provider and pulls a handful of extras from public sources.
