Be careful when using these services. The receiver may be unhappy about receiving money from a foreign company related to cryptocurrencies, and may even be suspicious for the bank.
These services do nothing more than sell your cryptos and send a bank transfer. I think you can do that yourself. Especially when you see the fees they charge (up to 7%). At least you don't have to ask to yourself to do an identity check (kyc).
For somebody living in the EU, none of those services are helping, unfortunately.
The few in that list that do indeed can help pay your bills ask for KYC, you need to get your biller bank account, you need to pay the extra fees (although SEPA is indeed cheap) and you have to pay the fees hidden in the price spread plus the tx fee on sending coins.
I don't see any advantage in using one currently, you can pay with a card in seconds in your provider app or you could set up a direct debit payment, I have this with my ISP, mobile, electricity, and gas providers, I get an alert 3 days in advance that my bill is issued and if I don't ask my bank to hold my payment it gets paid automatically from my account (zero fees).
I could see this working in a country where people don't have bank accounts, but, obviously, these services are not available there.

I think it would be better to groups them by area, US/AUS only, global, etc.
