How we make money
We believe you deserve to know exactly how an independent publisher stays in business — and why our incentives stay aligned with yours.
“Advertisers never influence our reviews, rankings or editorial opinions.”
01Affiliate Commissions
Most of our revenue comes from affiliate partnerships. When you buy a product through a link on our site, the merchant may pay us a commission — at no additional cost to you. This funds the research and testing behind our content.
02Sponsored Content
Occasionally we publish sponsored content or run advertising for partners. When we do, it is clearly labeled as sponsored so it is never confused with our independent editorial reviews.
03Editorial Independence
Our rankings, scores and recommendations are decided by the editorial team using our published methodology — before any commercial conversation. A commission or ad spend can never buy a higher ranking.
04Transparency
We disclose our affiliate relationships site-wide and on every page that contains affiliate links. If you ever want to understand why we recommend something, our reasoning is on the page.
