Questions
Is this comparison independent?
No. Empire Sentinel publishes this page. That is why every statement about Instatus carries a link to the public source it was taken from and the date it was read, so you can verify or refute it yourself.
How current are these details?
Each cell shows the date we read it. Vendors change pricing and limits without notice; check the linked source before relying on any row.
