Row order is fixed in the data file and is not a ranking. The 8 types hold 70 evaluations in total: 43 ranked and 27 evaluated and not ranked.
Evaluated means STR Select read the provider’s own site and recorded what it publishes. Ranked means it sits in the top tier of its own type page on the printed formula. Evaluated and not ranked means the provider is on the page with the reason it was left out, such as a dormant site or a product sold to a different buyer. Of the 70 evaluations here, 43 are ranked and 27 are not. 5 of the 8 types are services where people do the work and 3 are software tools.

No. Revenue management is a service where people run pricing for you: STR Select evaluated 7 of them. Dynamic pricing software moves nightly rates by algorithm and leaves the decisions to you: 8 evaluated. They are separate pages because the buyer, the price model and the work involved differ.
On the revenue management page the range recorded is $125 to $500 per property per month, or 1 to 1.25% of revenue on software led tiers. That figure covers the 5 ranked providers and comes from the rates each one prints on its own site, so a provider that prints no rate is not in it.
The interior design page records $199 to $2,999 per room on published prices, or $1,600 to $3,000 for a 2 to 4 room package. Design fees only, furnishings are extra. It covers 8 ranked packages out of 12 evaluated, and each price carries the vendor page it was read from.
3 of 9 evaluated. The other 6 are listed on the co-hosting page with the reason each is not ranked. Co-hosting here means national, tiered services, not a local manager.
No. The 8 rows sit side by side only so you can find the right page. A design studio and a pricing tool solve different problems, so nothing here ranks one type above another. Ranks exist only inside each type page, under the same printed methodology.
