How we score
Trust is the product. Here's exactly how every SmartMarketPro ranking is produced.
Objective metrics
Verifiable numbers collected from affiliate network APIs, CSV exports and controlled manual entry. Every value keeps a record of where it came from, when, and who or what entered it.
Editorial assessment
Hands-on testing by our editors: onboarding, real workflows, support quality and documentation. Scored against a published rubric, reviewed by a second editor.
Combined score
Final score = objective × 60% + editorial × 40%. Weights are versioned, so a past ranking always shows the exact formula that produced it.
Weekly recomputation
Every Monday we snapshot all metrics and recompute rankings. Movement arrows show the change versus last week, and full history is preserved.
Source transparency
Each metric on each review lists its origin — network API, CSV import or manual entry — plus the date it was last verified. If a source changes or disappears, scores adapt, they don't silently break.
Rankings are never sold
We earn affiliate commissions when readers buy through our links. Commissions are tracked separately from scoring and can never influence a rank.
The formula
Objective and editorial scores are always published separately, so you can weigh them however you like. Formula weights are versioned; historical rankings keep the weights that were in effect when they were computed.
