Both figures come from the retail, proximity and iot marketing page.
Across every category in the September 2026 Edition, GroundTruth and Estimote were named in the same answer eighteen times, of the 43 answers naming GroundTruth and the 48 naming Estimote. In those answers Estimote took the first choice one time and GroundTruth two.
