How Does Our Community Score for SMM Panels Work? (2026)
Quick answer: Our community score aggregates real user-submitted ratings on delivery speed, drop rate, refills and support into a single independent figure. We do not sell panels, so the score reflects users, not paid placement.
When you look at a panel's score on SMMAnalysis, you deserve to know exactly what that number represents. We are an independent comparison platform, not a seller, and our community score is built to reflect real reliability rather than marketing spend. Here is how it is constructed.
What the Score Is Trying to Measure
The community score is a composite estimate of how likely a panel is to deliver what it advertises, on time, at the stated price, without disappearing. It is not a single vendor's opinion and it is not for sale. Every panel in our directory is scored on the same footing so comparisons in the comparison tool stay apples-to-apples.
The Signals We Aggregate
The score blends multiple independent inputs:
Full detail lives in our how rankings work explainer.
Why We Weight Distribution, Not Just Averages
A panel with a hundred mixed reviews is more trustworthy than one with five perfect ones. We downweight thin, suspiciously uniform feedback for the reasons covered in our fake-review guide. This protects you from manufactured reputations.
How It Connects to Real Services
The score is only useful if it predicts your experience buying real things like Instagram followers or Spotify plays. That is why delivery and refill behavior weigh heavily, informed by our delivery speed methodology.
Independence Is the Whole Point
We take no commission on any service you buy, which is what lets the score stay honest. The complete list of inputs is documented on our data sources page, and you can read about our mission on the about page. For context on how composite scoring systems are designed to resist gaming, Wikipedia's article on weighted scoring explains the underlying math we build on.
