How the score works
The 0–10 score is a weighted sum of five parts. Money does not buy a place: paid placement is shown separately and labelled “Ad”.
Hosting
- Price per 1 GB — 25%. The cheapest paid plan divided by its RAM and converted to USD at the daily rate, ranked within the list. No prices — the part is skipped.
- Free plan — 10%. Yes — 10, no — 0.
- Features — 20%. DDoS protection, NVMe, backups, modpack install, control panel, stated uptime — equal shares.
- Reviews — 25%. Our reviews and Trustpilot together, Bayesian average: 5 virtual reviews of 3.5 are added so a couple of reviews cannot give a 10.
- Popularity — 10%. Members of the official Discord on a log scale: 1,000 → 6, 10,000 → 8, 100,000 → 10. No public numbers — 2 out of 10.
- Data completeness — 10%. Plans, description, locations, panel, uptime, logo.
Launchers
- Capabilities — 35%. Mods, modpacks, skins, auto-update, bundled Java, multi-account, built-in server list.
- Platforms — 10%. Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, iOS: four or more — 10.
- Free, open source, no ads — 15%. Free — 4 points, open source — 3, no ads — 3.
- Player reviews — 15%, same as hosting.
- Popularity — 15%. The better of GitHub stars and official Discord members, log scale: 1,000 → 6, 10,000 → 8, 100,000 → 10. The official launcher gets 10. No public numbers — 2 out of 10.
- Data completeness — 10%.
