Our verdict
The Squirrel Buster Plus runs about $90 and earns a YardScore of 88, ranking #1 of 10 in the database. There is no subscription at any tier — what you pay at checkout is the whole story, which is exactly how feeders worked for the first hundred years of the hobby.
Squirrel resistance is built into the design rather than bolted on — no baffle required, though a sensible mounting spot still helps. See which birds it serves below — that list is computed from the species database, not the marketing copy.
