How We Score Boosting Services, and Where Our Method Has Limits
Every rating here starts with a real purchase. Buyers in our Discord community report their orders: what they paid, how fast the boost started, how support behaved and whether the account came back clean. Our team checks those reports before they count. No site has ever bought a position here, and none of them sees a score before readers do.
How We Build the Score
Each site gets a score out of 5, shown as a Trust Score from 0 to 100, built from five weighted inputs. The weights are the same for every service we test. Account safety carries 35% because it covers the one kind of damage money can't undo: a banned account, a penalty on a profile you've played for years, or a login still sitting in a stranger's notes. A slow delivery costs you a week. A ruined account costs you the account.
| Factor | Weight | What we measure |
|---|---|---|
| Account safety | 35% | Whether the seller keeps the profile hidden while work happens, connects from a plausible region, how credentials are stored and who can read them, whether the ToS risk is stated in writing, and what state the account comes back in. |
| Delivery reliability and speed | 25% | Whether reported orders actually finished, whether work started when the site said it would, and whether what got delivered matched what we bought. Stalls, silent handovers and slippage all get logged. |
| Pricing transparency | 15% | We compare the product page price with what the card is charged, sweep the configurator across ranks and regions, hunt for fees that only appear at checkout, and check that refund terms are readable before paying. |
| What buyers report | 15% | Findings from our Discord community and public reviews tied to a real purchase, filtered for fake reviews. We read the shape of the complaints and how the seller answers them, because raw volume says little on its own. |
| Talking to support | 10% | Real support conversations from buyer orders, graded on response time and on whether the reply actually solved the problem or was a copy-paste. |
Trust Score Bands
A score of 90 to 100 earns the Excellent label, 75 to 89 reads as Good, 60 to 74 as Fair, and anything under 60 is filed as Poor, with the reasons spelled out in the review.
- 96
90 and above: excellent. Vetted, and we would buy here again.
- 84
75 to 89: good. Strong track record with one or two caveats.
- 67
60 to 74: fair. Workable for some buyers, with real gaps.
- 42
Under 60: poor. Flagged. Not one we recommend.
The Checks We Run
- After the handover. Buyers report whether the account came back clean: active sessions, login history, linked apps, and any warnings or restrictions.
- During the order. When the booster started, whether offline mode was used, and whether the site kept the buyer updated.
- At checkout. Whether the price on the product page matched the amount actually charged, including any fees added at payment.
- With support. How fast support replied and whether the answer actually solved the problem.
What Earns a Pick
Our three picks, on the homepage and on every game page, are the three highest-ranked sites in our table. They change whenever new findings move the ranking.
Keeping It Honest
Some links on BoostRates are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. Commissions never change a score, a position or a pick. Sites that fail on safety are marked Poor regardless of any commercial relationship.
Corrections Policy
If we get a fact wrong, such as a founding year or a price, we fix it and note the change in the review. Services can send us factual corrections, but they can't negotiate a score.
Where the Method Stops Short
Community findings are a sample, not a census. A site can treat a new customer differently from a regular, and ban waves can arrive months after a boost. Every review shows when it was last updated, so you can judge how fresh the score is.
FAQ
Can a service see its score before it goes live?
No. Services find out at the same time readers do. We do accept corrections on factual errors, like a wrong founding year, but never on the score itself.
Why does safety weigh more than price?
A slow or pricey order costs you money or an evening. A careless login handoff can cost you the account. The weights reflect which mistake you can undo.
How often do scores change?
The full table is rescored every month. A service can also be re-tested early if buyers report bans, missing refunds or a change of ownership.
Do you ever remove a service?
Yes. Anything that falls below 60 is labelled Poor and stays visible with the reasons, so you know what to avoid. Services that disappear or change domains are archived.
