Methodology
Every provider on Swap Wise Guide is scored against the same fixed, weighted criteria - never a case-by-case judgment call. This page shows exactly what we measure, how much each factor counts, and why.
Scoring Criteria
| Criterion | Weight |
|---|---|
| Fees & Rates | 25% |
| Transaction Speed | 20% |
| Security & KYC Policy | 25% |
| Reputation & Track Record | 20% |
| Customer Support | 10% |
Where the Data Comes From
Each provider's score is built from publicly available information - the provider's own fee/terms pages, official announcements, and, where available, independent incident reports. Facts shown in a review's "at a glance" table are updated as part of each content refresh.
How Often We Update
We revisit reviews on a regular basis to catch changes in fees, policy, or provider status. The "Updated" date on a review always reflects our last check, not necessarily the provider's own last change.
