How is the community score calculated?

The community score is the net sum of upvotes and downvotes cast by registered SMMPanel Analysis users on a service. One account equals one vote per service; votes can be changed but not duplicated. A score of +53 means 53 more users rated the service positively than negatively.

Can SMM panels pay to improve their score or ranking?

No. Community scores and default sort orders cannot be bought. Paid advertising placements exist on the site but are always visually labeled as sponsored and never modify a service's score, price data or position in comparison tables.

How often is price data updated?

Panel catalogs are refreshed daily. Every rate change is recorded, which is how per-service price history charts are built.

How Rankings & Community Scores Work

Loading…

Every comparison table on SMMPanel Analysis is built from two kinds of data: objective service attributes collected automatically (price, minimum/maximum order, average delivery time, refill support) and an independent community score contributed by real users. This page explains both.

The community score

The community score is a net vote count: registered users who tried a service can upvote or downvote it, and the score you see (for example +53) is simply upvotes minus downvotes. The rules:

Only registered accounts can vote, and each account gets one vote per service.
Votes can be changed later, but never duplicated.
Scores are never edited, reset or weighted by us — what users vote is what you see.
Panels cannot pay to raise a score, remove downvotes or influence default sorting.

Price and delivery data

Service attributes come from the panels' own public catalogs, refreshed daily. Every rate change is recorded, which powers the per-service price history you see on service pages. Average delivery time is reported by the panels themselves and shown as-is; treat it as an estimate, not a guarantee.

Sorting in comparison tables

Default comparison tables sort by price (cheapest first) because that's the most common research goal. Members can re-sort by community score, delivery time or order limits. Sponsored placements are always labeled and appear in dedicated ad slots — they never displace organic results inside comparison tables.

Limitations, honestly

Vote counts are lower on niche services, so a score of 0 usually means "not enough data" rather than "bad service". Prices can change between our daily refreshes. When in doubt, place a small test order first — that advice appears across the site because it's the single best way to evaluate any SMM service. See also where our data comes from and who we are.
