The homepage uses non-numeric language about leading companies and trusted solutions, without a customer-count figure: https://changetower.com/

The official product page says 500,000 marketers trust Moz Pro: https://moz.com/products/pro
Agent readiness level
Automation
How ready the product is to operate as or inside an AI agent workflow, based on tracked subcriteria for autonomy, controls, integrations, memory, and evaluation.

Ease of use and autonomous level
Automation
How easy it is for a team to reach useful outcomes, and how much work the product can perform autonomously after setup.
