How many panels are these Medium prices based on?
None yet. No panel whose catalogue we have read currently lists a Medium service, so this page carries no prices and says so rather than showing an estimate.
Medium services cover claps and followers. Claps touch Medium’s Partner Programme, which pays writers, so the counter is a payable metric rather than a display one. No panel in our index currently lists either row.
We have not read a price for Medium services yet. The service is in the catalogue because the market trades it, but no panel whose catalogue we have synced currently lists it. There is nothing here to rank and we are not going to invent one. How the index is built.

None yet. No panel whose catalogue we have read currently lists a Medium service, so this page carries no prices and says so rather than showing an estimate.
They feed the platform’s Partner Programme, which pays writers, so inflating them is closer to inflating a payment claim than to moving a display counter. That distinction changes the risk profile even though the row looks like any other engagement product on a price list.
Each of these is a term buyers routinely read as meaning something it does not.
