Deviant Cocktail Club has a sharp membership offer (Founding 100 free shaker, multi-month plans) and clear box contents on THE DEVIANT page. Review counts did not appear in the source we read, and the homepage promise is strong while PDP social proof is still thin for a new subscription.

Adoption is the share of storefronts where our Oct 9, 2026 scan found at least one app in the lane. Apps that live only in checkout or the back office can hide from a scan, so “not spotted” doesn’t mean missing. App names show what other brands run. They aren’t endorsements. A few links to software partners are referral links, and we may earn a commission if you sign up, at no cost to you. Money never changes a score.

They are not statements of fact about a company’s legal compliance, finances or product safety. Grades are set against the consumer brands we grade: 82 or higher is in the A range (the scale).
