How to pick the right list
Start from the strategy: grid lists suit range-bound markets, DCA lists suit long-term buying. Then check availability in your country; every list shows platforms that work for you first. Scores use the same criteria everywhere; see the methodology.
Why is a platform missing from a list?
A platform appears only if it meets the published rule for that list. If the rule needs a fact we have not verified yet, the platform is left out until we have a source.
Do paid placements change the order?
No. Paid placements are marked AD and keep the position their score gives them.
