A new dated entry is stamped here each time the price moves — the record builds itself.
From 2026-10-16 our record reflects a correction we published, not a vendor price move, so earlier figures are not compared with it.
Tracked since June 2026. No change record has cleared two sources yet, so nothing is published on the wire.

This standing as a plaque
ADT currently holds a bronze deskmark here — Rank 6 of 7 · Home Security. Anyone may show it. There is nothing to apply for, nothing to pay, and displaying it changes no score: the standing comes from the published algorithm, which never reads commission data. We never ask anyone to show it, and its link carries rel="nofollow".
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if ADT moves up or down a tier, the plaque on your own site says so at our next publish. Nothing is tracked beyond the ordinary web-server log that records any image request.
