Why we publish this. A comparison page that only lists our own wins is no use to a merchant deciding today. Every claim here is dated and linked to its source, and we correct it when Checkout Guardian ships something new. If you find a row that is out of date, tell us.

No rule count, no impression cap. The app is in build, so this adds you to the early access list.
