Methodology

Report Chain Labs scores every provider on one fixed rubric, applied the same way every time. This page breaks down each criterion, its weight, and the reasoning behind it.

Scoring Criteria

Where the Data Comes From

Each provider's score is built from publicly available information - the provider's own fee/terms pages, official announcements, and, where available, independent incident reports. Facts shown in a review's "at a glance" table are updated as part of each content refresh.

Keeping This Current

Reviews get periodically re-checked for fee, policy, and status changes. The "Updated" date shown reflects when we last verified it, separate from when the provider itself changed anything.
