How to use the score

Do not treat this as a lab benchmark. Treat it as a purchase screen. A provider can have great marketing and still fail if websocket behavior, failover, rate limits, or archive coverage do not match your workload.

Run the same test during peak traffic.

Ask support how incidents are escalated.

Compare price against retries, not just requests.
