The table below compares ForecastEx and PredictIt across the same core discovery metrics: rating, trust score, bonus posture, market type, regulatory posture, founding year, banking minimums, payout speed, app/support signals, licensing, regional reach, and payment-method breadth.
Start with province, territory, or regional availability and regulatory type, then use trust score, payout speed, and bonus posture as your next filters. Trust score is always shown on a 0-100 scale here, and it should be treated as a risk floor rather than a tiny tiebreaker between two otherwise similar platforms.
