Ranking Methodology 


To compile the ranking, we rely on a professional criterion that follows these steps:

  1. We test the platforms based on several basic parameters (see list).

  2. We test the platforms based on ranking-specific parameters.

  3. We ensure the results are accurate (consistency and absence of outliers).

  4. We verify on social media and forums that our parameters are socially sound and that no relevant negative reviews exist.

  5. We present and publish the ranking.
