How the reviews are made
Each review checks plans, prices, limits and terms on the company’s own pages, notes the date, and scores the product on the same four criteria. The full method, including how the rating is calculated and what companies can’t influence, is on how we review. Some links are affiliate links; see the affiliate disclosure.
