- A single brand’s share over any period, with the counts and the panel at each point.
- A category’s full monthly series as CSV.
- One creator’s documented history, with the source behind every entry.
- Who switched between two brands, and when.
Most of this is already public — see the monthly readings — but a cut shaped to your story is quicker to write from, and costs nothing to produce.
Using the figures
Free to reproduce, credited to Creator Gear with a link to the page the number came from. One thing worth stating in any piece that quotes a share: these are shares of the creators this site documents, not of the whole field, and that group grows as the archive does. A brand can add players and still lose share. Counts are always printed beside percentages here for that reason, and a quoted percentage without its denominator will mislead your readers.
Boilerplate
Creator Gear is an independent record of the equipment creators plays, assembled from published reporting and tied back to it. Every one of its 10,081 claims links to the article that made it. It takes no payment from manufacturers, and its rankings are counts of cited usage that cannot be bought.
Methodology
How claims are collected, what is excluded, and how the counts work is set out on the about page. If something here is wrong, contact@creatorgear.io — corrections take priority.
