Green background: better documented or cheaper in this row. Hover over an entry for the provider's note.

Rank 1JTL-Wawi & WMS€42.505 matching

Real costs instead of “from” prices

If a provider doesn't publish something, we show a range or a minimum price – never an invented amount.

Gaps stay visible

We mark undocumented information as open instead of counting it as available or missing.

Fixed rules, ads kept separate

The ranking follows disclosed rules; advertising is labelled as “Ad”. See the methodology
