What we would open first

Bleap is the one we would start with in this group: free to open, ID + proof at signup. Our second pick is Privacy.com, which we keep for the checkouts where Bleap gets a range block, not because it is cheaper. The other rows below are here because they cleared something specific, not to pad the list.

Merchants in this group include AliExpress · Target · Etsy.
