Source replaced, price unchanged. https://www.safewise.com/home-security-review/frontpoint answers 301 and lands on https://www.safewise.com/news/frontpoint-adds-new-personalized-emergency-response-feature/ — the same page at the address the site now uses. The figure is unchanged and still stands on the day it was read; only the link the reader follows is corrected, so it no longer bounces through a redirect. Same host, same scheme, and the destination keeps every distinguishing word of the page's own name.

Frontpoint currently holds a silver deskmark here — Rank 3 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 and money never touches it.
The image is drawn from our live data, so it follows the standing rather than freezing it: if Frontpoint 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.
