Coverage is still narrow. Live prices have been read from 1 of 129 panels (2,182 services). The rest are listed because they are real, reachable operators — not because we have seen their rates. Panels with no synced catalogue show no prices rather than an estimate. How the data is gathered.

of the 3.6/10 score
Nothing on this page can be bought. Sponsorship, affiliate status, paid listings and advertising add exactly zero points. That claim is checkable rather than rhetorical: the formula is a single exported function, rendered term by term on the methodology page, and none of its inputs is a commercial relationship.
Each bar is one component. A component we could not measure is scored at its neutral share and labelled as unmeasured, because punishing an unknown would just mean the score tracks how long we have been watching a panel.
WHOIS lookup pending — scored neutrally until we have a date.
How long the domain has been registered, from WHOIS. Weighted heavily because it is the one signal an operator cannot buy retroactively — a panel that exits and reopens under a new name starts this component at zero.
Only 0 checks so far — not enough to score.
The share of our scheduled probes that got a healthy response. Scored on a squared curve, so 95% uptime is worth much less than 99% rather than slightly less — an SMM panel that is down when you need to place an order is down.
Never synced. Prices on this page are hand-entered, not live.
How recently we last read this panel’s price list successfully. A catalogue we cannot re-read is a catalogue whose prices we cannot stand behind, so staleness costs points even when the panel itself is healthy.
No verified reviews yet. Scored below neutral, since an unreviewed panel is unproven.
Reviews where a moderator saw proof of purchase. Both volume and rating count: five glowing reviews are weaker evidence than eighty mixed ones, so the volume term saturates around fifty.
Not independently verified yet.
Ten points if we placed a real order and it delivered, five if the owner proved control of the domain. The test purchase is the only signal on this page that we generate ourselves, which is why it carries the most weight per point.
Missing at least one of: terms, refund policy, reachable support.
Terms, a refund policy and a support channel that answers. Cheap to satisfy and cheap to fake, so it is worth little — but a panel with none of them has told you something.
Raw probe results. We store the observations rather than a rolled-up percentage, so the score can be recomputed if the formula changes.
