Editorial policy

What we will and will not do, written down so it can be held against us.

Last updated 17 August 2026

Our commitments

We do not sell rankings. No provider can pay for a position, a score, or inclusion. If one ever asks, the answer is no and we will say so publicly.

Commission does not affect scores. See the methodology for how the calculation is structured to make this true rather than merely promised.

Providers can receive negative reviews. Including ones we earn commission from. A review that never says anything critical is an advert.

We say when we do not know. Unverified data is shown as unknown. Categories in a comparison show "not enough data" rather than inventing a winner.

Nothing is fabricated. No invented benchmarks, no fake customer reviews, no made-up user counts, no synthetic testimonials. If a number appears on this site, it came from somewhere real and we can tell you where.

Dates are shown. Reviews carry a last-reviewed date and pricing carries a last-checked date, so you can judge for yourself how current it is.

Affiliate relationships

Some links on this site earn us a commission. Those links are marked with rel="sponsored", disclosed on the page they appear on, and routed through a redirect that is excluded from search indexing.

Where we have no affiliate relationship with a provider, the link is a plain link and is not marked as sponsored — marking it so would be as misleading as failing to mark a paid one.

Corrections and complaints

Report an error from any provider page, or get in touch. We will correct genuine errors and update the last-checked date when we do.
