How we compared these two

The criteria are fixed

Every comparison on this site uses the same 5 rows in the same order, so two pages can be read against each other. We do not add a row because one side happens to win it.

A win is a stated threshold

A row is won on the published number or capability, not on judgement. Ties are declared rather than broken. Figures come from provider price lists and official sources.

How we get paid

Both links earn a commission at the same rate, so the winner of a row is never the higher-paying one. Fees come from each provider's own published price list, not a comparison feed.
