For panel owners
The PanelCompare badge
Your name, your trust score out of 100, the band it falls in and how much of the evidence we have actually measured — in your own footer, in a shape and colour that suits it. A card, a one-row pill, a banner across the footer, a single line of text or a round seal; dark, light, following your visitors’ setting, or transparent; in English, Turkish, Spanish, Portuguese, Indonesian, Russian or Arabic. It is free, it updates itself in both directions, and it links to the page that shows every component behind the number. Panels whose owner has proved the domain carry a verified-owner mark on it as well.

Build your embed
Pick a panel, a shape and a look, check it on a dark and a light footer, copy the snippet your site takes. Nothing to sign up for and no key to manage — the badge shows figures that are already public on the panel's own page.
What it costs, and what it collects
On your page
- An SVG image of two to three kilobytes, or a lazy-loaded frame of three to four.
- No fonts, no scripts, no third-party requests of its own.
- Cached for fifteen minutes (image) or five (frame), then revalidated.
- Nothing is written to your visitors’ browsers.
On our side
- One row per panel, per host, per day.
- Views and click-throughs. That is the whole schema.
- No IP address, user agent, session or page path — there is no column for any of them, and your visitors’ browsers send us only your origin.
- Loads from this page, including the previews above, are not counted.
Questions owners ask
- Does displaying the badge improve my ranking?
- No, and it never will. The ranking formula is a single exported function whose inputs are prices, domain age, uptime probes, catalogue freshness, verified reviews, published policies and published complaints. Nothing about the badge is among them, and the table it writes to is joined by no ranking query. Points for a badge would be points for promoting us, and a panel’s willingness to link to us says nothing about whether it delivers an order.
- Then why would I install it?
- Because it is third-party evidence on your own storefront, which is where your buyer is already deciding. A visitor who is weighing a first deposit gets a number they can click through and check, published by someone with no stake in the sale. That is the same reason shops carry a Trustpilot widget, and Trustpilot does not raise your rating for carrying one either.
- How much of it can I change?
- How it looks, not what it says. You choose the shape, light or dark or transparent, the corners, the size, a border, an accent colour, the language, and whether to show the verified-owner mark once you have earned it. The score, the band and the share of evidence behind them come from us and are the same in every version. An accent colour recolours the wordmark and the frame, never the band, because the band’s colour is part of the verdict — and any accent that would be hard to read is darkened or lightened until it is not.
- What happens if my score drops?
- The badge drops with it, within the hour. That is the point: a badge that could only ever show good news would be a graphic, not evidence, and every reader would price it accordingly. If a score falls you can remove the badge at any time, and nothing about removing it affects the score.
- Do you track my visitors?
- No. The badge records which panel, which host it was embedded on, and which day — an aggregate row per panel per host per day. There is no column for IP address, user agent, session or the page the badge appeared on, and the browser only sends us your origin in any case. We cannot tell you who saw it, only how often it was seen.
- Does it slow my site down?
- The image is an SVG of two to three kilobytes and the framed version an HTML document of three to four, with no scripts, no fonts and no requests of their own beyond a one-pixel view counter. The image is cached for fifteen minutes and the frame for five, and after that a returning visitor’s browser revalidates with a single request that usually comes back empty.
- I already have the old badge. Do I need to change anything?
- No. Every address and snippet we have ever handed out still works and keeps the size it had, so nothing in your footer moves. It picks up the new design on its own. Copy a new snippet only if you want a different shape or colour.
