This is one of the first concrete results of the self-force program, and provides an exact point of comparison with approximate post-Newtonian (PN) computations of the ISCO. Here this exact ISCO shift is compared with nearly all known PN-based methods. These include both \"nonresummed\" and \"resummed\" approaches (the latter reproduce the test-particle limit by construction).
