About SMMScout
Reviewed by the SMMScout data team · updated 2026-08-14 · methodology · editorial policy · disclosure
SMMScout exists because the SMM panel market has thousands of storefronts, hundreds of review blogs and almost no shared measurement. We publish the measurements.
The market exists on platforms hosting billions of users (Wikipedia, social media).
What we do
We track SMM panels with three inputs anyone can verify: WHOIS domain age, live public service counts and measured API latency. The same formula scores every panel, the sources are linked on every panel page, and the formula is public on the methodology page.
Who we are
SMMScout is operated by the same team that runs Ezkify, a retail SMM panel, and Smmize, a wholesale provider panel. We disclose this on the homepage, in the footer and on every panel page where our panels appear. Our panels are scored by the identical formula as every other panel, and they are young domains, so they rank accordingly.
That arrangement is the point of the site: if we would not survive our own ranking system, we would be running it wrong.
What we will not do
- We will not sell score increases. The formula has no purchase path.
- We will not hide a sponsorship. Sponsored positions are labeled.
- We will not review ourselves as if we were independent. Our panels are labeled.
- We will not recommend any panel without the same three inputs on display.

Panel owners: claim or manage your listing from the owner area. Editors and partnerships: [email protected]. Scam reports and data corrections are welcome on any panel page.
The open data
All directory data is available as open JSON: scores, risk scores, flags, payments and measurement dates for every panel. Free to use for research and attribution-linked quotes; details in the terms.
Questions, answered
Can a score be bought?
No. The formula has no purchase path, and sponsored placements are labeled and separate. The methodology page shows every input and source.
Why are your own panels at the top?
Ezkify and Smmize are scored by the identical formula: verified ownership (+25), measured latency and declared catalog size. They would lose the top spots the moment the inputs do, and the measurements are public.
How do you make money?
Labeled sponsored placements ($10/$25 per month), affiliate referrals on scripts and gateways, and the two panels we operate. None of it touches scores or risk scores.
Can I use your data?
Yes: the directory is open JSON, quotable with a link, and the market report is free to reference. Commercial resale of the dataset as a product needs written permission.
Values
- Measured, not claimed. Every number has a date and a source.
- Transparent by default. The formula, the flags, the conflicts: public.
- Fair to small panels. Under review is neutral, not negative; verification is free.
- Independent of payment. The same data for everyone, including us.
