Why are there not more comparisons here?

A comparison page publishes only when both providers have at least 80% of their card fields resolved. Two providers who each publish a headline rate and nothing else produce a page that compares two dashes, which helps nobody and damages the site that publishes it. Pairs blocked by that rule are logged during the build rather than published thin.

If the pair you want is missing, the catalogue holds both cards with the same fields side by side, and the switching pages cover the case where you are leaving one provider rather than choosing between two.
