Alcor have about the same number, KrioRus 15, so about 227 total worldwide. About two thousand people are signed up.
There exist only two thousand people worldwide who have signed up for cryonics?
There are other services, but I think they all only have a handful of members between them, bringing the total up to less than two thousand.

Yes. My own estimate was off my a magnitude of 2 as well. It is really that low!
