| Primavera Pro | about $200 for all 33,841; about $76 for the 12,892 with an email | 1 credit per business exported; $59 a month (€49 excl. VAT) for 10,000 credits, top-ups at the same rate. |

What these figures don’t say
- Specialty. Wedding, portrait and commercial photographers are told apart only when the business chose that category.
- Freelancers without a listing. Many sell through their own website or social media only.
- Where 22.0% of the listings work: they show a service area, not a street address, so no province counts them.
- Whether an address delivers. Checks run on request, once the list exists.
