    Frequently asked questions

    What is the most popular productivity & collaboration software in 2026?

    Microsoft 365 leads this category by trailing 12-month payment activity, followed by Google Workspace and Slack. Its 4.4% share is of recorded transactions across all software in Cledara, not a percentage of companies or a within-category share.

    How is productivity & collaboration software market share measured?

    Payment-activity rankings count observed purchase and renewal transactions over the trailing 12 months; spend rankings use observed software spend. Shares use all tracked software as their denominator. Neither activity rank nor activity share measures distinct customers, seats or product usage. Updated monthly; last update 26 October 2026, 20:12 UTC.

    Which productivity tools have the largest activity-rank gains?

    PageProof and Swytch lead the measured 12-month payment-activity rank gains among the displayed ranked products. Comparisons require the current observation month and the same month one year earlier. A gain in rank positions does not establish revenue, customer or usage growth.

    How many productivity tools are in this catalogue?

    The recorded catalogue contains 776 productivity tools. This is a product count across the catalogue, not the number of tools used by an average company. Products without current observations may remain recorded.

    Where does this data come from?

    From anonymized, aggregated purchasing data across companies that manage their software with Cledara. It reflects what businesses actually pay for, not survey answers or web traffic.

    How much do companies spend on productivity & collaboration software?

    UK companies have estimated annualized median spend of £21k for productivity & collaboration software (£10k–£50k interquartile range), based on payments as of 26 October 2026. These category figures multiply the latest complete month's distribution by 12; they are not trailing-year totals. Reported in GBP; EUR and USD available on the page.
