About

A comparison site that measures things

Most sites in this category rank providers they have never bought from, using scores nobody can explain. This one publishes what it measured, and says so when it has measured nothing.

Why

Why this exists

Search for any provider in this market and you will find pages of reviews that read identically. Dozens of providers carrying the same score to one decimal place. Star ratings displayed above the words “0 reviews”. Pricing tables labelled “representative” because the figures were never taken from the provider at all.

None of that is measurement. It is copy written to fill a page, and it is worse than useless to somebody about to spend money.

So this site does the boring version instead: capture what providers actually charge, keep every capture with its date, check whether they are still online, and publish a score built only from things we have observed.

How

What makes the numbers different

Nothing is estimated

A missing measurement stays missing. It is never replaced with a midpoint, an average, or an optimistic default. If that leaves a provider with too little data to score, it gets no score — and stays listed anyway.

The breakdown is public

Every score shows its components, including the ones we have not measured. You can see exactly which parts are real and how much each one moved the number.

History is kept

Prices are appended, never overwritten. That is what makes trends and cheapest-ever records possible, and it cannot be reconstructed later by a site that scraped once.

Thin pages stay out of search

A provider we hold almost nothing on is marked noindex until the data is worth reading. We would rather have fewer pages that earn their place.

The full method, including the weights and the thresholds, is on how we measure.

Money

How this is funded

Some outbound links carry a referral code and we may earn a commission when someone buys through them. That is the entire business model — no advertising, no sponsored placements, no paid reviews.

Scores and rankings are computed from measured data before any commercial consideration exists. A provider cannot pay to rank higher, cannot pay to have a bad number removed, and cannot pay to be excluded from a comparison it looks poor in. Providers we earn nothing from are listed exactly the same way.

Honesty

What we have not done yet

We have not placed test orders. That means delivery speed, retention and refill reliability are unmeasured for every provider on this site, and they are excluded from scoring rather than guessed at. You will see this stated on every provider page.

It is the most useful thing we could add, and it is the honest answer to “do these followers stay?” — which today is: we do not know, and neither does anyone else publishing a number for it.
