Why this rank
Why Privy server wallets ranks #2
Each strength is read from evidence on a 0–10 ladder and weighted as the published methodology states. The 32 objective points these produce (25.9 here) sit inside the score; availability, friction, trust record and measured data add the rest. Best in this ranking on 1 of 4.

Each line is the ranking run again with one of Privy server wallets’s criterion scores changed and every other value held: the smallest whole-point change on that criterion that moves its rank, and where the re-run puts it. Up to 4 climbs and 3 falls are listed, smallest change first. Nothing here is a forecast.

Record watch-outs
- Privy never retries or reprices for you — "The endpoint does not wait for confirmation or retry if the transaction fails to be confirmed." — so the buyer must build the repricing loop, and no cancel, nonce-reset or gap-advance endpoint exists anywhere in Privy's 159-path OpenAPI spec (re-checked 2026-09-28; the new /v1/intents/{intent_id}/reject only rejects an unapproved intent before execution). But the common overstatement is wrong and worth correcting: a jammed queue is NOT invisible without Enterprise. GET /v1/transactions/{transaction_id} and GET /v1/wallets/{wallet_id}/transactions carry no plan gate, and BlockchainTransactionStatus includes "pending" and "broadcasted", so a stall is pollable; the documented fix — resubmit the same nonce via /rpc — needs no webhook either. What Enterprise buys is the push signal: the transaction.still_pending webhook, since "To enable webhooks in production, upgrade to the Enterprise plan in the Privy Dashboard." On a Developer plan you must poll rather than watch, and you must clear a jam by replacement rather than by a cancel call.

Facts

- Pricing
- NOT USED IN ANY SCORE ON THIS PAGE (cost is scored on account_abstraction_infra and rpc_nodes); recorded because the schema requires it. Privy's pricing page (https://
www .privy .io /pricing), fetched 2026-09-28: Developer tiers "Free" "0-499" "Up to 500" MAU "Free"; "Core" "500 – 2,499" "Up to 2,500" MAU "$299" "/ M"; "Scale" "2,500 - 9,999" MAU "$499" "/ M". Same page: "Apps exceeding 10K MAU, 50K monthly signatures, or $1M monthly transaction volume are billed based on usage."; its FAQ: "a volume PAYG base fee of $2,000; $0.05 per MAU above 10,000 MAUs; and $0.01 per signature above 50,000 signatures". Enterprise: "Custom pricing per transaction or transacting wallet", "Signature‑based pricing as low as $0.001/signature" (non-ASCII hyphen as published) and "Webhooks, SSO, and advanced custom integrations". Privy publishes no price for gas sponsorship, no per-relayed-transaction rate and no gas-credit unit rate: "Native gas sponsorship" appears on the pricing page only as an unpriced feature name. The developer terms (https:// www .privy .io /developer-terms-of-service, same date) state "All Fees shall be invoiced monthly in arrears". Sponsored gas itself is paid from prepaid credits or, on the Enterprise plan only, postpaid on the monthly invoice (https:// docs .privy .io /wallets /gas-and-asset-management /usage-billing /overview, same date).Privy server wallets — official pricing page ↗ · 28 October 2026 - Prices published in

Changes to published ranks are recorded in a ledger; every step and its cause is listed on the rank-history page. The entries below begin with the current verified snapshot, then the methodology versions whose changes applied to this category, newest first.
9 methodology entries
- 11 August 2026Current verified snapshot · methodology 2026.10.18Score 78, #2 of 7. 4 of 4 criteria scored. History starts here; earlier values are not interpolated.
- 10 October 2026
2026.10.8When nothing serves your country, the list shown for reference is the published ranking · platform-wide- fixed The reference list shown when nothing serves your country is the published order with the published scores, and a build check now fails any such list out of that order or with a score the ranking does not publish.
- fixed The explorer prints an overall rank only for a row the published ranking holds; a country entrant such as Coinbase Commerce for US merchants shows no overall rank.
- changed Published orders do not move. Country results change only where nothing serves the country: in India bill pay keeps Bitcoin Well first and now shows Strike second, as published; 35 such runs across all categories and countries now match the published list exactly.
- 10 October 2026
2026.10.6A criterion you require re-scores the rows that meet it · platform-wide- changed The explorer sends each criterion you require, at any band, as fit_required with your other answers; region, licence, chain and fact filters stay filters. On /best, a required criterion joins For you as a marked preference does, which needs your country; Overall stays the published ranking, filtered.
- added Every published criterion has a golden case as the explorer sends it (require:<criterion>), so the order a requirement gives is replayed and gated as the published order is, and a change to it needs an entry here.
- 16 September 2026
2026.09.15Dimension scores carry tenths, and eleven more categories are re-read from primary sources · platform-wide- changed Dimension scores resolve to tenths of a point (O-04b), and weightedTotal is rounded to six decimal places before the order is read. 518 published scores move across 107 categories that were not re-read; none of them moves by more than 4 points, and most move by 1.
- fixed 66 published scores change in the eleven re-read categories, against a verbatim source each. The largest moves are Reflexer RAI (−16), Beefy and Unrekt (−11), Aztec (−10) and Golem (+9) — all of them rows whose sources had moved since their last read.
- changed Published order moves in 38 of 119 categories and three #1s change: smart_contract_audits (Zellic → Certora) and travel_rule_compliance (Sumsub Travel Rule → CodeVASP) on the finer resolution, kyc_compliance (Veriff → Sumsub) on the re-read.
- added availabilitySource (O-04g): for a reader who states a country, a row whose availability in that country rests on a region tag its record gives no source for sorts below every sourced row. It is inert in every order published here, which states no country.
