Ranked by public customers (every proof level, job posts included), then by confirmed, then by observed ones. Shared customers use both tools; they never set the order. Pricing and free trial: what the vendor states on its own pages, verified; “Not checked yet” when usedby has no verified value; the vendor may publish it.
