Editorial Policy

Independent editorial control

Our editorial team has final say over reviews, comparisons, recommendations and Fit Scores. No advertiser, affiliate or partner can override editorial judgment.

No pay-for-ranking

Vendors cannot buy a higher Fit Score, a better ranking, or a more favorable review. Commercial relationships are never an input to our scoring.

Clear sponsorship labels

Where we have a commercial relationship, we disclose it clearly and close to the relevant recommendation — not only in the footer.

Corrections policy

If we get a fact wrong, we correct it promptly and update the verification date. Vendors and readers can request corrections via our contact page.

Vendor fact verification

Vendors may review and correct factual inaccuracies about their product. Vendors do not approve our editorial conclusions before publication.

Source standards

We prioritize official vendor sources for facts about pricing, features and integrations, supplemented by independent research. We do not claim hands-on testing unless it actually occurred.

Updating policy

We prioritize re-verifying the facts most likely to change — pricing and integrations first — and record when each was last checked.

Conflicts of interest

We recommend the right fit for the buyer even when there is no commercial relationship, and we disclose relationships transparently.

Affiliate disclosure

See our affiliate disclosure for how we make money and how we keep it separate from recommendations.
