How this site pays for itself
No paywalls and no sponsors buying scores. Here is how affiliate links and free review access work on this site.
Maintained byPragya JhaUpdated Oct 30, 2026In one line: some links earn us a commission at no extra cost to you, and that money doesn’t change a score or a ranking.
Affiliate commissions
When you click certain links and go on to buy, the company pays us a commission. The price is the same for you either way, because it comes out of the company, not you. Those commissions keep the site running and the reviews free to read.
What it costs you: nothing extra
You never pay more for using our links. No markup and no surcharge. When a real discount exists, we point you to it.
Free access for review
Some companies give us free access so we can review their product. We say so on the review, and it doesn’t change the score.
What it does not change: the review
A commission doesn’t buy a higher score, a better ranking or a spot on a list. Products that pay us nothing are reviewed on the same rubric as products that pay a commission.
What we do not do
We do not sell reviews, run sponsored verdicts, accept payment for placement, or let a company edit our words. The full picture is in how we review and our editorial policy.
