How We Rate Our Products

Our ratings are based on three key parameters to ensure a comprehensive and unbiased evaluation.

Brand Demand Index (BDI)

Brand Demand Index (BDI)

Measures relative brand demand by analyzing the share of user clicks each listed brand receives on Top10ratings.com over the past 30 days and comparing it against other brands within the same category, with additional benchmarking against category search volume data from Semrush.
Top10ratings.com accepts advertising compensation from companies, which may influence the placement of brands and, in some cases, may also affect the Brand Demand Index.

Consumer Sentiment Score (CSS)

Consumer Sentiment Score (CSS)

Measures brand reputation by benchmarking Trustpilot ratings and review sentiment against other brands in the same category to evaluate credibility, customer satisfaction, and overall consumer trust.
If a brand does not have sufficient Trustpilot ratings or reviews, the overall rating will be calculated using only the Brand Demand Index (BDI) and Editorial Evaluation Score (EES).
