About the comparison tool
How does the comparison tool pick the best value?
Among the hoops you select, it highlights the one with the most score per dollar: the overall score divided by the price we read on the maker's page. It is a simple rule, so read the rows too: the pole, the overhang and the lowest rim height can matter more than $100.
Can I share a comparison?
Yes. The page address updates with your selection (for example /compare/?ids=pro-dunk-thor-platinum,pro-dunk-thor-gold,goalsetter-mvp), so you can bookmark it or send it before you decide together.
Why do some cells say "Not stated"?
Because the maker does not publish that figure on the pages we read. We never estimate it; in our formula an unstated criterion scores low.
Where do the prices come from?
From each maker's own US store (Pro Dunk, Goalsetter, Goalrilla, Lifetime, Spalding), read on November 12, 2026. Goaliath and Silverback hoops are sold on goalrilla.com. Concrete and installation are never included.
