Frequently asked questions

How many employees does Crossplane have?
Crossplane has 51-200 employees, based on public sources read at the last profile run. That makes it larger than 56% of the 57 profiled Infrastructure/DevTools peers with a known team size.
What industry is Crossplane in?
Crossplane is a SaaS company in the Infrastructure/DevTools segment.
Who are Crossplane's competitors?
Public sources list Terraform and Cloud Provider Infrastructure Addons as Crossplane competitors. The list comes from live search coverage at the last profile run, not a static database.
Is this profile actually verified, or just generated by AI?
The structured fields come from a hybrid pipeline. Facts (location, employee range, funding, tech stack) come from live web rendering plus Serper search across the company site, LinkedIn, press, and GitHub. Claude only picks the buckets: vertical, segment, growth signal. It never decides facts. Contact emails on full profiles pass an SMTP RCPT TO handshake at delivery time.
How is this different from a contact database?
Kustiq profiles one company at a time, live from the web when you ask. Tools like Apollo and ZoomInfo rent access to a 50M+ row pool that ages every quarter. Different shape, different price, and the freshness story is the opposite.
What does "track this profile" do?
Tracking saves Crossplane to your free dashboard so you can re-run the full pipeline on it anytime. Free with a signed-in account: 3 profiles a week, no card.
Can the profiled company remove this page?
Any company in the Kustiq directory can request removal at /trust#removal. Removed profiles return 410 Gone and stay out of search.
How fresh is the data?
Crossplane was last verified 2 months ago. The data refreshes when anyone re-runs the profile (the Re-run now button above does exactly that), and we run the SMTP handshake on contacts when you ask for them, not when we cached the row. The freshness card above the profile shows the exact relative date for the current visit.
