How we make money

What pays for this site, and the rules that keep payment away from the rankings.

At launch, no provider pays us and no link on the site earns a commission. When that changes, the affected pages will say so above the first paid link.

What may pay for the site

  • Evaluation fees. A provider may pay for us to evaluate its product sooner. It gets the same research and the same calculator as everyone else, and it may come out last.
  • Affiliate links. Some links may earn a commission if you sign up. They are marked rel="sponsored" in the page code and disclosed on the page.
  • Clearly labelled sponsorship, kept separate from the comparisons.

What money cannot buy

  • A position in any list. The order comes from the calculator and the published profile only.
  • Inclusion of figures the provider has not published.
  • Removal of a fee, a limitation or a regulatory detail.
  • A badge, seal or “award” to display elsewhere. We do not sell them.
  • A preview of the page before it is published.
