Rip Station vs Shiny
The same rows, the same units, for every site: measured value first, then the terms that decide what you keep. Nothing here is blended into an overall score, and where a site does not publish a fact we write "N/A" instead of estimating it.

"Best" marks the highest value in that row only, and only where the row is numerically comparable. It is not an overall verdict: a site can lead on return and trail on payout terms. Returns are gross unless the row says otherwise.
