If budget is the constraint, the earlier-batch companies are usually the ones still competing on price.

How was this list put together?

Every company here is Y Combinator-backed and was matched to Epsilon on what it actually does — its own description of its product — rather than on a broad category label. Batch, team size and operating status come from the YC directory and are shown as-is. We do not rank by payment.
