Our Review Methodology
We believe in complete transparency. Here's exactly how we evaluate and score every adult site in our directory, using 50+ criteria across four major categories.
Understanding the Trust Score
Every site receives a Trust Score from 0-100 based on our comprehensive evaluation. Here's what each score range means:
Top-tier sites with exceptional quality and safety
Highly recommended with minor areas for improvement
Solid choice with some limitations
Acceptable but with notable concerns
Significant issues, proceed with caution
Major safety or quality concerns
Rating Categories
Each site is evaluated across four weighted categories. Here's what we look at in each:
Safety & Security
Content Quality
User Experience
Value & Pricing
Review Process Timeline
Each site undergoes a comprehensive 2-week evaluation process:
Initial Discovery
Day 1We identify new sites through user submissions, industry monitoring, and competitor analysis. Each site is logged for evaluation.
Security Audit
Days 2-3Our security team runs automated and manual checks for SSL, malware, suspicious scripts, and payment security vulnerabilities.
Content Evaluation
Days 4-7Reviewers assess content quality, variety, update frequency, and production value across multiple categories.
UX Testing
Days 8-9We test the site on desktop, mobile, and tablet devices, evaluating navigation, search, and overall usability.
Value Assessment
Days 10-11Pricing is analyzed against competitors, billing practices are verified, and refund policies are tested.
Final Scoring
Days 12-14All criteria scores are weighted and combined into the final Trust Score. The review is written and published.
Our Independence Commitment
No paid reviews. We never accept payment for positive reviews or higher scores. Our ratings are based solely on our evaluation criteria.
Affiliate transparency. We earn affiliate commissions from some sites, but this never influences our ratings. Many top-rated sites have no affiliate program.
User-first approach. Our only goal is to help users find quality content safely. If a site has problems, we report them—even if it costs us revenue.
