How we score an offer

What the score measures

The Worthorpass score rates an offer, not a product. It answers the two questions a buyer has before paying: what will my card actually be charged, and what exactly do I get? It does not measure whether a trading system makes money, whether a supplement works or whether an ebook is well written, and no review on this site claims to.

Every score is built from seven sub-scores out of 10. All seven are printed on each review, so you can weigh them differently if your priorities differ from ours.

How we collect the facts

For every offer we open two documents side by side: the vendor's sales page and the Digistore24 order form the buy button leads to. The order form is the one that matters, because it is what Digistore24 actually charges. Prices are recorded in US dollars exactly as the order form shows them, unless the offer is only sold in euros.

• The price, the currency and whether tax or shipping is added on top
• The billing model: one payment, instalments, a trial that converts, or a subscription and its cycle
• Any item already placed in the cart, and any voucher the buy button applies
• The refund window on the order form, and whether the sales page says the same
• The seller named on the page and in the legal notice, and whether that name can be traced
• The format, length and delivery method, as the vendor states them
• The date of the check, printed on the review

What the order form does not say is recorded too. A missing refund window, a missing product description or a missing seller name is a finding, and it is scored.

The seven criteria

The table shows how the whole catalog of 775 offers scores on each criterion. The detail for each one follows.

Offer clarity

The question: Does the sales page tell you the real price, the billing cycle and what you receive, before you reach the checkout?

Scores high: Price, format, length or contents and billing are all stated on the page itself. Scores low: A video or a story where the offer should be, no price until the order form, or an order form with no description at all.

Median across the catalog: 6.0 out of 10. 126 of 775 offers (16%) score 4 or lower on it.

Value for money

The question: What do you get, measured against what comparable offers on this site charge?

Scores high: A stated quantity (pages, lessons, templates, a supply of N days) at or below the going rate for its category. Scores low: A high price for something short, unspecified or freely available, or a recurring charge that adds up past the category norm.

Median across the catalog: 4.5 out of 10. 290 of 775 offers (37%) score 4 or lower on it.

Refund terms

The question: Is a refund window stated, how long is it, and does the page agree with the order form?

Scores high: A clear window of 30 to 60 days or more, identical on the page and in the checkout. Scores low: No window stated, a window that differs between page and order form, or 'all sales are final' next to a checkout that says otherwise.

Median across the catalog: 8.0 out of 10. 12 of 775 offers (2%) score 4 or lower on it.

Pricing honesty

The question: Is the price advertised the price charged?

Scores high: One clean charge, the same number on the page and on the order form. Scores low: A subscription dressed as a one-off, a struck-through price that never existed, an extra item placed in the cart, or a voucher that changes the price.

Median across the catalog: 8.5 out of 10. 15 of 775 offers (2%) score 4 or lower on it.

Delivery and access

The question: How and how fast do you receive what you bought, and does access expire?

Scores high: Instant digital delivery with the format stated and lifetime or unlimited access. Scores low: Physical shipping with return postage, a service that depends on the vendor's calendar, or a format the vendor never names.

Median across the catalog: 8.0 out of 10. 0 of 775 offers (0%) score 4 or lower on it.

Vendor transparency

The question: Can you identify the company or person behind the offer, and can their claims be checked?

Scores high: A named company with an address or register entry, a traceable author, and claims you can verify. Scores low: An anonymous page, a pen name, credentials that cannot be traced, or testimonials that repeat across unrelated products.

Median across the catalog: 3.5 out of 10. 571 of 775 offers (74%) score 4 or lower on it.

Claim discipline

The question: Does the promise fit the format delivered?

Scores high: A promise you can check before buying: a number of recipes, templates or lessons. Scores low: An outcome nobody can measure, income or health results guaranteed in the title, or a premise that cannot work at all.

Median across the catalog: 5.0 out of 10. 314 of 775 offers (41%) score 4 or lower on it.

From seven sub-scores to a verdict

The published score is the plain average of the seven sub-scores, rounded to one decimal. The verdict follows from it:

• Worth it: 6.5 or higher (101 offers, 13%)
• Worth a look: from 5.0 to 6.4 (396 offers, 51%)
• Pass: below 5.0 (278 offers, 36%)

The 6.5 line sits in the natural gap of the score histogram, so small differences in rounding do not flip many verdicts.

Four floors the average cannot override

Three of the criteria reward payment and delivery hygiene, which Digistore24 standardises and almost every offer gets right. On their own they add around 3.5 points to any offer, however little it discloses. So the verdict has floors that the average cannot lift:

• An offer whose seller will not say what it is (offer clarity 4 or lower) is marked Pass. This applies to 126 offers.
• An offer whose promise cannot be true (claim discipline 3 or lower), such as a system that claims to change lottery odds, is marked Pass. This applies to 157 offers.
• An offer with offer clarity of 5.5 or lower cannot be marked Worth it, whatever its average.
• To be marked Worth it, an offer must score at least 5 on both offer clarity and vendor transparency: we need to know what it is and who sells it.

The floors change the verdict label, not the number. The score still shows the average, so you can see how close an offer came.

Pricing problems are named, not scanned

We do not lower a score because a word appears on a page. An early version of the model did that and penalised an app whose page said "one payment instead of a monthly fee", because the sentence contains the word monthly. Every pricing problem that lowers a score is now recorded by hand, against the offer's Digistore24 ID, with a one-line description of what the order form showed.

The full list, grouped by the seven pricing tricks we keep finding, is published in the Digistore24 Offer Report 2026. To read any order form yourself, including offers we have not reviewed, use the free checkout checker.

What this method cannot tell you

• Whether the product delivers the result it promises. We read offers; we do not run them for months.
• What the vendor changes after our check. Prices, bonuses and refund windows move, which is why every review is dated.
• What you will pay in another country. Tax, currency and even the price can differ outside the United States.
• Anything about a product we have not reviewed. Absence from this site is not a verdict.

Re-checks and corrections

The catalog was checked between 23 August 2026 and 27 September 2026. When we find that an order form has changed, we re-read it, update the review and change its date instead of leaving the old figure in place. Corrections of fact from readers or vendors go to contact@worthorpass.com; see the contact page for what we can and cannot help with.
