Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit? Marketers operate thousands of reddit accounts. Our benchmarks expose their spiel so they attack our reputation. More » Why does UserBenchmark need so many captchas? Our servers must handle malicious traffic because our user-focused service leads to less profit for brands. More » Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark? We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data obstructs youtubers who promote overpriced or inferior products. More » Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews? The 200+ trustpilot reviews are mostly written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users don't give a monkey's about big brands. More » Why is UserBenchmark the gold standard for users? Instead of pursuing brands for sponsorship, we've spent 15 years publishing real-world data for users. The Best
