"Better: lowest" marks the lower listed monthly entry price, shown only when both prices are confirmed on the vendor's own pricing page, both are monthly USD prices and both list the vendor's own entry plan. It is not a rating. A single API page is indexed only when at least 4 of 5 fields are confirmed on the vendor's own pages, and price, free tier and display rights are among them. A head-to-head comparison needs all 5 fields confirmed for both APIs.
