About
We publish the working, not just the answer.
snyp.io ranks business services using a published formula. Every weight, every review count and every penalty is printed on the page, so you can redo the arithmetic and disagree with us on the evidence rather than on vibes.
Why this exists
Most “best of” pages are a ranked list with no stated reason for the order. The ones that do score things tend to keep the formula private and put the useful detail behind a subscription. That is a reasonable business model and a bad deal for the reader, because an unexplained score cannot be checked, argued with, or corrected.
So we went the other way. The criteria and their weights are published. The per-platform ratings and review counts behind each score are shown next to the result. If you think pricing transparency deserves more than 25%, you can reweight it yourself and see what moves.
How we score
Five criteria, fixed weights, applied identically to every provider in a category: review evidence (30%), pricing transparency (25%), data portability (20%), business stability (15%) and service scope (10%). Review evidence is a volume-weighted mean across every platform we can verify, with a confidence factor for sample size and a penalty when platforms disagree sharply about the same company.
No category is adjusted after the fact to produce a winner we prefer. The full methodology sits on the ranking page itself, not on a separate page nobody reads.
What we will not do
- No paid placement. No provider has ever paid to appear, to rank higher, or to be removed. No company is told its position before publication.
- No invented numbers. Where we cannot verify enough review data to score a provider fairly, we list it unscored rather than estimate. On the bookkeeping ranking that currently applies to 55 of 100 providers.
- No quiet edits. When a score changes because the underlying data changed, that is normal. When a score changes because we got something wrong, we say so.
Where we are weak
Worth knowing before you trust a number. Review volume helps, which structurally favours older firms over genuinely good newer ones — we show the counts so you can judge that. The divergence penalty is harsh on companies with one bad channel. And a provider that keeps its pricing behind a sales call will score lower even if that pricing turns out to be fair, because we can only score what is published.
Corrections
If a number on this site is wrong, tell us and we will check it against the source. Providers are welcome to dispute their own data; supply a link we can verify and we will update the score if the evidence supports it. What we will not do is remove a provider or change a score because the current one is unflattering.
