What Top10 does

Top10.com, operated by Natural Intelligence Ltd., is a comparison marketplace platform founded in 2009 that helps consumers and small/medium businesses evaluate and select products and services across 23+ categories. The platform curates 500+ top-10 ranking lists supported by 5,000+ hours of editorial research and named expert contributors spanning physicians, attorneys, licensed clinical social workers, SaaS specialists, and SEO/web development professionals. Categories range from business software (project management, CRM, payroll, accounting) and web services (website builders, hosting, ecommerce) to consumer-facing verticals (home security, online therapy, medical alerts, background checks, DNA testing, hearing aids, dating, legal services). The platform has facilitated 16M+ user decisions and reaches tens of millions of high-intent consumers annually.

The core technology is an intent-marketing platform that combines paid search advertising infrastructure with a content management system for reviews and rankings.

The service is free to consumers; revenue is generated exclusively through affiliate commissions — fixed payments from partner brands when users click through and purchase, with placement influenced by compensation received. Notable tier-1 partners include monday.com, Wix, Shopify, GoDaddy, LendingTree, McAfee, Match, ADP, Gusto, Vivint, Vonage, RingCentral, Norton, Bluehost, Hostinger, and IONOS. The company is privately held, headquartered at 4023 Kennett Pike #50055, Wilmington, Delaware (USA), with firmographic data listing Tel Aviv, Israel as the secondary operating location. It employs 101–250 people and has raised $12.4M total across three funding rounds in 2011, 2013, and 2014, led by Accel and Balderton Capital, with no subsequent capital raises documented.
