Rating and ranking methodology
We do not score, rate or rank signal providers, and this page explains the reasoning.
No audited performance record exists
Signal-service performance claims are almost always self-reported and unaudited. Without independently verified trade records covering a meaningful period, any numeric score would encode guesswork as precision.
Ordering is alphabetical
Provider lists on this site are ordered alphabetically. Ordering never reflects payment, affiliate relationships or any assessment of quality.
What replaces a score
Structured comparison fields, explicit evidence labels and documented risks let readers weigh factors against their own circumstances instead of deferring to a number.
If this changes
Should verified, independently audited performance data become available for a service, we will describe the audit, its scope and its limits before publishing any figure from it.
