Instant, zero-download demo platform for sales teams ranks in the top 5% of products on SourceForge based on recent user reviews; built to convert discovery calls into closed-won deals.

REYKJAVIK, Iceland, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CrankWheel, the instant screen-sharing and demo platform built for sales teams, today announced it has won the Summer 2026 Leader Award in Screen Sharing Software from SourceForge, the world's largest B2B software review and comparison website, with nearly 20 million in-market software buyers every month. The award recognizes products with a high volume of recent, outstanding user reviews, placing CrankWheel in the top 5% of favorably reviewed products out of the 100,000+ on SourceForge.

For CrankWheel, the recognition reflects a simple mission: help sales reps close the gap between a great discovery call and a signed contract. To earn the award, each winner had to receive enough high-rated user reviews to rank in the top 5% of all products on SourceForge, a bar that speaks directly to the quality and impact CrankWheel delivers day to day.

"Every award like this comes down to one thing: our users closing more deals," said Birta Bjargardóttir, COO of CrankWheel. "Sales reps win or lose in the gap between a strong discovery call and a signature. CrankWheel exists to shrink that gap. With CrankWheel salespeople can get a prospect into a live demo in seconds, with no downloads and no friction, so momentum never stalls. Being named a SourceForge Leader tells us we're building the right thing, and we're only pushing harder from here."
