On the basic metrics alone, the score was 76.8 and the rank 1. The score is now 66.3 and rank 2 (▼ 1 place). The difference comes from buying motives: they measure what the buyer asks before deciding.
Lightspeed on vertailun läpinäkyvin kansainvälinen toimija: se julkaisee kuukausihinnat ja transaktiomaksun avoimesti, luettelee tuetut maksutavat ja tarjoaa ympärivuorokautisen puhelintuen, chatin ja ohjekeskuksen. Läpinäkyvyyttä ostajan näkökulmasta laskee se, että hinnat ovat dollareissa, tukea ei ole suomeksi ja sopimusehtoja tai datan tarkkaa sijaintia ei eritellä.
