    How we read them

    Our script saved each firm's own pricing, help and terms pages on 16 October 2026, from a US network address, and kept a fingerprint of each. A value goes on this page only if the firm's exact words are in the page we saved; anything else says "not stated" (the pages we read don't say), which is not a finding either way. We don't rate firms, take paid placements here or publish discount codes. 991 of 991 quoted facts checked out word for word.
