Reviewed figures from each brand's Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD), side by side. Each figure carries its FDD year and page. This is not a ranking or recommendation, and the two FDDs may cover different years and location groups.
Before you compare
- Dryvebox figures come from its 2025 FDD and Lightspeed Restoration figures from its 2026 FDD, so the years differ.
- Item 19 figures cover the location groups each FDD names (Dryvebox: 2, Lightspeed Restoration: 3). Different groups are not directly comparable.
