Those whose total cannot be complete
These 15 plans are not ranked with the others, deliberately: their total is a MINIMUM, not a price. Placing it beside a known price would produce a false ranking — which is exactly what pages that rank on the advertised price do. On 2, the firm does not publish an amount; on 9, it is WE who have not recorded it; on 4, both happen.

This criterion keeps 37 of the 144 plans we track, or 26%. That is a clear minority — the criterion really does exclude, so the list is worth reading to the bottom.
The closest page to this one is Plans with end-of-day drawdown: 31 plans appear on both. The criteria co-occur in the data, and saying so beats publishing two neighbouring lists without a word.
What this page guarantees
The ranking is on the ALL-IN cost to first payout — evaluation, activation, resets and the recurring fees of the reference scenario — not on the advertised price. That is a different answer: the cheapest to buy is almost never the cheapest to arrive. 6 unranked plans already show a minimum BELOW the first of this ranking: the data allows neither keeping nor discarding them, so this page's title claims nothing beyond complete totals.
