Moneysaving expert list of best ISA accounts seems not updated

Posts: 2 Newbie
For years I use the MSE list of "best accounts" to find the best interest rates. Checking today, I noted that all ISAs listed have a significantly lower interest rate than those recommended by WHICH? For example best 5 year fixed ISA interest in WHICH is 4.54%, however in MSE 4.16%. Applies to all listed ISAs and MSE does not cover 4 year fixed.
I wonder why? This disturbs me quite a bit as I thought MSE is the best...Any comments, thoughts welcome, thanks.

OP might be looking at Which? printed magazine. By the time they’re printed & posted, the info is often out of date.0

If seeking the absolute best deals, it's good practice to check multiple comparison sites though, and not exactly onerous....0
