Alternatives to WordPress.com
Other Website builders vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that WordPress.com does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 28 that differ from WordPress.com on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
WordPress.com has 8 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Status page with history, Certifications named, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, Notice before subprocessors change, Named privacy contact. The column “publishes and WordPress.com does not” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
