Of these, 11 state at least one standard on the pages read, and 9 publish a price for at least one product. Other layers they also cover: host or runtime (4), registry or directory (5) and auth provider (1). Mintive and Obot publish no price on the pages read. ## Gateways and proxies | Vendor | Type | What it does for this layer | Standards stated | Pricing | Ora score | Cloudflare scan | Last read | |
