Affiliate Disclosure

The short version

Some outbound links are affiliate or referral links. If you register through them, we may earn a commission from the provider - at no additional cost to you. Rankings, scores, verdicts and discontinued listings are computed from published criteria and never sold or adjusted for deals (see methodology).

Current state

We are in a direct-link phase: most links point straight to the provider. Where providers run public referral programs, the code is embedded in the direct link - same for every visitor, documented here, and never a ranking factor. Negotiated affiliate partnerships would replace those links via our central redirect; nothing changes on your side.

How the redirect works

Every outbound provider link runs through /go/ on this site. We count clicks per provider per day (no IPs, no profiles - see privacy) to know which reviews serve readers. The destination can change when a deal is signed; your experience cannot.

What we promise

No paid placements disguised as rankings. No removal of honest cons. No burying of dead or discontinued services - those keep their warning reviews and lose their visit links entirely.

The programs themselves

Every listed provider was checked for an affiliate or referral program: commission tiers, carryover rules and payout terms are compared on Best affiliate programs, and each review carries the provider's program facts. That page compares the deals for potential partners - it does not change a single provider score.
