Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you sign up with a provider through one, that provider may pay us a commission. It costs you nothing extra, and it has no effect on rankings, scores, or placement.

You do not have to find this page to know it. The disclosure appears on every page that carries a ranking or a recommendation, next to where you would act on it — not only here. That is deliberate: a disclosure you have to go looking for is not a disclosure.

Outbound links to providers route through a redirect on our own domain so we can count clicks. We do not pass your identity to the provider, and we do not receive one back.

A link is marked as sponsored for search engines only when a real commercial relationship is recorded for it. We do not declare a relationship that does not exist, and we do not hide one that does.

Commissions are paid on sign-ups. They are not paid on rankings, and no provider is told its position in advance.

Nothing about the score. The methodology is published with its weights, every factor is scored the same way for every provider, and our editorial independence statement sets out how to check that for yourself. A provider that pays us a commission and scores badly still scores badly, and several do.
