Ratings reflect retained public source snapshots and can change. Blended ratings use reported source counts as weighting proxies, not unique people or pooled individual reviews. Shared company review subjects are labeled and do not establish plan-specific reviews or feature parity. TrustScore uses Trustpilot’s proprietary algorithm. Known shared review pools are counted once; other overlap may remain. At the dataset snapshot date, observations older than 90 days are excluded.
