Advertising disclosure

This site is free to read and funded by affiliate commissions and clearly labeled sponsored placements. Here is exactly how that works.

Affiliate links

Some links to listed platforms are affiliate links: if you click one and later sign up or subscribe, the platform may pay us a commission. You never pay more because of it. Affiliate links are marked with rel="sponsored" in the page markup — the standard, machine-readable way of disclosing paid links to search engines — and this page discloses them to you.

The /go/ redirect

“Visit site” buttons route through our /go/redirect before landing on the platform. The redirect attaches our affiliate tag where a program exists (and goes straight to the platform's own site where none does), and logs the click so we can account for referrals and see which listings are useful. What that log contains is described in the privacy policy. /go/ URLs are excluded from search-engine indexing.

Sponsored slots

Platforms can pay for a sponsored placement on ranking and listing pages. Sponsored placements are governed by three hard rules:

  • Maximum 2 sponsored cards per ranking page. The rest of every page is organic, always.
  • Every sponsored card carries a visible “Sponsored” badge.If it doesn't say sponsored, it isn't.
  • Expired sponsorships revert to organic ranking immediately. There is no lingering boost.

Display ads

The site currently runs no display-ad network. Fixed ad slots are reserved in the layout for the future; if a network is ever added, ads will appear only in those slots, visually distinct from listings and labeled as ads, and this page will be updated first.

Editorial independence: rankings are never sold

Money changes where a labeled sponsored card appears — nothing else. Organic rankings, editorial scores, pros and cons, and privacy trust scores are computed the same way for advertisers and non-advertisers alike; trust scores in particular are deterministic arithmetic over verified policy facts and cannot be bought, moved, or suppressed. The finder quiz ignores sponsorship entirely. Whether a platform has an affiliate program has no effect on whether we list it, what we say about it, or where it ranks.
