Affiliate disclosure

How this site may earn revenue, how commercial links are labelled, and why a commercial relationship cannot change an evaluation.

How the site may earn revenue

Revenue

  • Affiliate links: we may earn a commission if you buy through a link we have marked.
  • Sponsorships: a company may pay to sponsor a clearly labelled placement.
  • Premium research and reports.
  • Qualified enterprise inquiries and relevant commercial partnerships.

If any of these begins, this page is updated first.

Rules that apply

Rules

  • Affiliate commissions, sponsorships, and vendor payments are never inputs to a score, a ranking, or a conclusion.
  • The scoring code has no access to commercial fields; a test enforces this.
  • Affiliate links are labelled where they appear and carry rel="sponsored".
  • Sponsored content, if ever offered, will be labelled as such and kept out of rankings.
  • A commercial link is identified next to the link itself, in plain language, not only on this page.
  • We do not show a purchase button when we have no valid destination.
  • Vendor links on product pages that are not commercial are labelled as links to the vendor.
