Side by side
✓ marks the firm ahead on that metric, by the rules on our methodology page — a fact, not a recommendation. "At least" means a fee or step isn't published (or we haven't verified it yet); the real figure can only be higher, so it's never counted as a lead. Costs are list prices, not promos.
