FMGAmerica.com seems to be the better residency program. They have been around the longest, so of course they have the most reliable track record. The other sites, charge per week and month for clinical positions. FMG America seems to be the cheapest and they put you in a three to six month externship anywhere in United States, in many different specialties. There are so many bad and good postings about every FMG site on the web, but out of everyone I spoke with in person, most people seem to use FMG America and 90% of the people I spoke to, were happy with FMG America and got into residency.
