That is the extent of what we could verify from public sources, so it may well offer desktop or mobile clients we have not indexed.","source":"https://www.getcensus.com/pricing","question":"What platforms does Census support?","confidence":0.6},{"answer":"Not fully, on what we have confirmed. Census is offered as cloud / SaaS and hybrid, and a hybrid deployment usually means some components can run on your own infrastructure while the rest stays vendor-hosted.
