There is a huge number of ICOs coming this year and we need some sort of filter to chose most reliable and ligit ones. I personally use ICOBench.com to filter good ones based on overal ICO rating and segregated ratings per Team, ICO profile, etc. I wonder if it is a good one, or there are more reliable ones out there?

For me, ICObench is a bad source for searching for a good ICO. I used this resource at the beginning. I don't know who manages their ratings but I saw many projects which couldn't collect  their softcap but had a big rating on this site; may be it is possible to buy rating on this site.

ICOBench and other top ICO rating sites are very useful to determine if a certain ICO project is a legit or not as they will review well the project and the team details specially the CEO because the ICO rating site reputation is at stake therefore they could determine if ICO is legal or not but not the success of the campaign.

I don't trust ICOBench, too many scam projects got good grades there. And that means a lot. ICOBench is a platform for paid advertising of even the most garbage projects that get everything they need. You will lose money if you follow their recommendations.

I heard that the rating on icobench can be easily bought for money. Therefore, I do not rely on the ratings of projects on sites, I try to study them myself to choose a good project.

it's good enough as a medium to find information on ICO projects even there we can see teams that have been verified
but I said it was only the media, not all the projects that were there were legit, but we ourselves had to look and learn more about their projects.

Many projects use their ICO bench rating as one of their promotions because there are investors who are using that platform to base their judgments on some projects however, if you are a very meticulous investor and wants to invest then you should not just base your judgment in just one platform but instead utilize all the information in the net and search for different platforms. ICO bench is one of the reputable ICO rating sites but you shouldn't just base your decision there.

that's why the basics of bounty hunter if they have an ico that they can legit an ico or bounty but not all icobench ico or bounty is legit because ico or bounty also has icobench but scam think because of another bounty hunter very nice is a bounty with icobench but others are not good because others do not reach the softcap so ugly to others but it's nice to have icobench because it's also safe.

ICOBench is good enough to be one of the references to choosing the current bounty project. but don't just stick to one website, because sometimes the rating given is not predictive or can be manipulated. you can compare with other websites like icodrops, icohotlist and topicolist. more than that, after you have determined a bounty option that is considered quite interesting, you still have to make further observations regarding the bounty information.

There are a few ICO websites that ask the team to do a KYC report. These are the most useful sites as it helps to prove that the project is real. These days there are so many scam ICOs that the first thing to check is that there is a real and active team, otherwise move on

Yes you can use ICOBench for looking for ICOs but it is not enough for profound analytics of the project is it a scam or not.

Icobench is a very good tool to find a good ICO project. But you shouldn't rely on Icobench. Because no one knows which ICO will scam! That's why you should research every icorating websites. Personally, I always try to follow the ICO market Android App, Icobench, Coinschedule websites to find a good ICO and yes Icobench is the best among all of them.

A few days ago I have seen someone selling icobench reviews on here. Some project owners paying advisors to write a review. I have seen icobench 4+ rated ICOs already scammed. In these days most ICOs scamming and cheating. Then we have to be careful to find a good ICO in this time. You have to do your own research to find a good ICO.

I believe that ICO Bench is one of the sources I use in selecting ICO for my signature bounty campaign participation. I usually check the ICO ratings using ICO Bench and the ratings were part of my consideration before I join in the campaign. It's information is very reliable and trusted by many bounty hunters in this forum and I believe they do continue to use this site as their reference in the selection of the right signature campaign they will participate.

Thats why we should not ever rely on such score things, But we do can use icobench to check whether the team is real or not, cause they got a KYC on team, but still i think we should not rely on this scoring. The best way to find good ICO is by doing research and find it by yourself.

Noticed that on ICOBENCH are gaining great ratings higher than 3-4 stars, those projects which ultimately did not gain or long to go public. but there are ICO with a rating of less than two - they give very good results. This means that these ratings, too, need look from whom affixed.

I don't recommend using icobench.com as a guide for Project/ICO investing, because lately there have been negative reports (for example, paid experts, and paid rating)

No, there's been loads of people showing proof that it's easy to purchase fake ratings on there and increase their overall rating.

Yes ICOBench is considered to be the most famous rating site, but I prefer to use many sources when choosing to get as much information as possible about the project that interests me. Naturally, no service will give you a guarantee that the project to which the high score is delivered will be successful and not a fraud. Here at the forum your question has already been raised and it has been answered many times. Just in case, I'll give you a list of some of the services I use myself:
https://icorating.com
https://icomarks.com/icos
https://crushcrypto.com
https://www.icochamps.com
https://tokentops.com/rating/
https://icocrunch.io
icobench is most famous rating site because i think they are have an expert in crypto to analyze the ICO project and give it a rating whether the ICO is good or not, there are also many advisors in icobench.
Have you ever seen about the latest news about that? icobench just a scam site that has been getting paid to give a rating and listing the scam projects. There is bunch of scam projects are listed on the ico bench site. That's worst ico rating site ever i seen.

No. Not at all. We've been extremely critical of them, citing obvious conflicts of interest and unrealistic ratings given in exchange for money or advisory board positions. There are many independent journalists and bloggers that have written about them as well. Our expose is called "ICObench Warmer," available here: https://www.tokenicide.com/opinion/icobench-warmer/.

Lately they've become even less professional and more desperate. One of their experts doxed a contributor to our site and another one threatened a lawsuit, which you can see in the comments to this post: https://www.tokenicide.com/review/ico-update-etherinc/.

Supposedly they used to be more reliable but in the past few months the site is effectively useless.

just one you choose which ICO is good for you and which is good in the future. because ICO definitely pays them to green them as a good cause. there is no harm in your review before you choose.
