Ranked by catalogue overlap (how much of what SMMLite sells each alternative also sells), because that, not a feature checklist, decides whether you can move your orders across without changing what you buy.

Which panels are the closest substitutes for SMMLite?
Each row shows how many of SMMLite’s 104 canonical services the alternative also sells, and where its prices sit against the market. Price position is a median across everything a panel sells, so it cannot be gamed by listing only a few cheap categories.

How is "catalogue overlap" calculated?
We map every panel’s raw service names onto one canonical taxonomy, then count the distinct canonical services that appear in both catalogues. SMMLite has 104 of them. The percentage in the table is that count divided by 104, the share of what you buy today that the alternative also sells.
Are cheaper alternatives to SMMLite worse?
Not necessarily, and the table separates the two questions. Price position is a median against the market, and trust is scored from domain age, uptime, catalogue freshness, verified reviews and published policies. Money plays no part in either. A panel can be well below market and still score high on trust; several in this list do.
Can I move my API integration across?
Usually, but never assume it. Most panels run one of a handful of panel scripts and expose a near-identical order endpoint, so the request shape often ports with a URL and key change. The service IDs never port (they are per-panel), so any integration that hard-codes them needs remapping against the new catalogue.
