Providers, ranked by measured success
2Ranked by Ahel's own calls in the last 30 days: success, then speed, then price. If a provider finds nothing, Ahel may try the next provider. Shown prices include Ahel's margin. Misses are free when the provider does not bill them; provider-billed misses are charged at cost, without Ahel's margin. Provider-billed failures follow the quoted billing rules. A run that never reaches a provider is not charged. Pending charges stay held until the provider settles. The final charge never exceeds your quote. Works counts calls that answered, found or not; New means fewer than 5 calls so far. Rates checked 2026-11-01.
