ChangeNOW vs StealthEX

ChangeNOW wins on measured health — 9.8/10 against 7.8/10. Note the coverage gap: we measured 100% of the criteria for ChangeNOW and 80% for StealthEX. Some of that gap is the finding — a service that publishes less can be measured less.

Last collection 2026-08-25: probed 252 services, measured 233, over a 90-day window.

No incident feed we can read, so no repair time to compute.

Where we docked points

Status transparency: No public status page found. Nothing about its reliability can be verified from outside — including by us.

Who this is NOT for

Anyone who needs to know when it breaks: no status feed, so you find out it is down by discovering it yourself.
