Methodology

How we score every merchant

No pay-to-play, no hidden weights. Just four transparent pillars, combined into a single number you can trust.

Step 01

Hands-on testing

Every platform gets 30–90 days of real-world use by a named reviewer before it is scored.

Step 02

Verified user reviews

We match crowd reviews to purchase or usage data wherever possible to filter out noise.

Step 03

Trust & compliance

Security posture, regulatory standing and financial health carry real weight in the score.

Step 04

Continuously updated

Scores recalculate every week as new evidence, pricing changes and reviews arrive.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

How does SiftPrime make money?

We earn from reader-supported affiliate links and merchant profiles. No merchant can pay to change a score or a ranking position. See our how we make money page for the full explanation.

How often are these rankings updated?

Scores recalculate weekly as new reviews, pricing changes and testing results come in. The "Updated" badge at the top of this page reflects the most recent recalculation.

Can I submit my own merchant for review?

Yes — use the "Write a Review" link in the main menu, or reach out through our contact page if you'd like us to prioritize testing a specific merchant.

What makes SiftPrime different from other review sites?

Every score follows the same published methodology regardless of commission, and a low score stays a low score no matter how much a merchant pays.
