I’m interested in this because Discourse is commonly underrated in usage and market-share statistics that I’ve seen.

Describing all websites using Discourse as “customers” is not accurate as it is only an assumption by [builtwith.com](http://builtwith.com). “Clients” or “users” would be better terms because they allow for both non-financial and remote relationships.

The numbers at [builtwith.com](http://builtwith.com) could be confirmed because they list them all if you’re prepared to pay for them:  
16,773 live + 10,895 past = 27,668 historical websites  
16,773 live + 72,108 redirects = 88,881 current URLs

This appears to be a more complete list than sites like [similartech.com](http://similartech.com) (9,303), [wappalyzer.com](http://wappalyzer.com) (3,700) and [whatcms.com](http://whatcms.com) (1,354). But all of them only count public-facing instances so the many private intranet and home server instances won’t be counted by any of them.
