Why does UserBenchmark have a bad reputation on reddit?
Marketers operate a lot of reddit accounts. UserBenchmark exposes their spiel so they attack our reputation.
Why don’t PC brands endorse UserBenchmark?
PC brands make a lot on flagships like the 4090, 14900KS, and 7950X3D. We help users get similar real-world performance for less money.
Why don’t youtubers promote UserBenchmark?
We don't pay youtubers, so they don't praise us. Moreover, our data exposes youtubers that promote overpriced/inferior products.
Why does UserBenchmark have negative trustpilot reviews?
The 200+ reviews on trustpilot are written by virgin marketing accounts. Real users aren't incentivized to back brands.
Why is UserBenchmark popular with users?
Instead of chasing sponsorship with billion-dollar brands, we've spent 13 years publishing real-world data which saves our users millions.
The Best.
