Scored on a 100-point transparency rubric. How we score.
Price-performance leader. Should be on every shortlist.
Best for four-metal portfolios or smaller starting investments.
Best-in-class transparency, zero sales pressure. $50K minimum is the friction.
Hidden gem. Transparent pricing + four metals + segregated storage.
Established veteran with low minimum and four-metal coverage. Underrated.
Quietly excellent customer experience. Worth a shortlist spot.
Most accessible top-tier option. Lower minimum + frequent fee waivers.
Strong sleeper pick. Trustpilot volume validates the customer experience.
Long-running player; improved transparency post-2022 bankruptcy.
Promising newer entrant. Watch reputation as the company matures.
Why this exists
What we do
Upload a PDF, paste an email, or type the numbers. The Decoder cross‑references your quote against fee benchmarks for 17 Gold IRA companies and shows the real spread.
How we make money
If our analysis says a different company is a better fit, we’ll show you. We earn only when a recommendation is picked. We’d rather route you right than route you rich.
What we are not
We don’t sell coins. We don’t take custody. We don’t pitch you on a metal. We’re the second opinion you wanted before signing.
We don’t sell gold. We earn affiliate commission only when our recommendations are picked — and we’d rather route you to a better company than a higher‑paying one.
