Availability
Successful responses over continuous probes. Long-term stability matters more than short spikes.
Scoring System
How we judge whether an AI relay deserves attention
RelayRank does not rely on low-price claims, marketing copy, or one-off speed tests. We break availability, latency, model coverage, risk signals, and time stability into observable criteria.
Core Scoring Dimensions
Scores update with ongoing monitoring, and short-term noise is not amplified by a single result.
Average Latency
Response speed under comparable models and channels.
Model and Scenario Coverage
Coverage across Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, and common workflows.
Risk and Incident Records
Sustained outages, volatility, and disputes lower priority.
Evaluation Flow
Collect
Record provider status, latency, availability, and incident changes over time.
Normalize
Convert signals across channels, models, and scenarios into comparable values.
Adjust
Reduce one-off noise and surface persistent issues through time windows.
Present
Expose findings in rankings, reviews, and risk observation pages.
Rankings and Methods
Read rankings before reviews
The methodology explains the ranking logic, but final decisions should also consider reviews, pitfall guides, and your own small-scale tests.
